Team Ostler: Treasures from Jerusalem

Treasures from Jerusalem

Jim's parents are in Jerusalem for the rest of the summer and they sent us some fun treasures for the kids. Here are some pix of the boys with their T-shirts from Jerusalem and Egypt. It was really hard to try to get a good picture of them all smiling and holding still. Ben likes to say "cheese" and scrunch his nose and squint his eyes for every picture that we take of him lately so these are as good as we could get.

They also sent us a sling and stone from the Valley of Elah (the place where David slew Goliath). For family home evening we told them the story of David and Goliath and had a fun time practicing with the sling. We used marshmallows of course instead of real stones. The boys had fun with it and Jim had fun trying to get them to hit me with marshmallows. Jim was pretty good with the sling. He was trying really hard to get me but I was too quick for him. Better luck next time Jim :)

Funny Things Kids Say

We were at church and during the sacrament I was talking to Luke about Jesus. I told him that Jesus bled and died for us. Luke looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "Did Heavenly Father give Jesus a band-aid when he was bleeding?"

We were about to walk out the door so I told Luke to go potty. He came out of the bathroom saying, "I can't go! The batteries in my pee pee are dead!"

After Ben finished a big meal he said, "my tummy is so big and full I look like Grandpa now!" (sorry dad).

Ben pointed to a picture of the prophet and said, "That's President Monckley!"

We have a saying in our house. It's "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" But Ben has his own version of this. He says "you get what you WANT and you don't throw a fit!"

Jimmy said that he is allergic to babies. I asked him how he knew and he said that he gets sick when he smells them.

Ben asked me for another piece of halloween candy and I said, "Mommy is ready for the halloween candy to be gone" and Ben said, "Yea, gone in my mouth!"

We were driving past the gas station sign and Ben said, "I see a lowercase 5 on that sign."

I was talking to Jimmy about election day and asking him if his teacher voted and he said that she was "absent" that day. (I finally realized what he meant. She had just mailed in an absentee ballot.)

Ben put a whole bunch of toilet paper in the garbage and I told him that is a no, no. He said, "no it's a yes, yes!"

I tell Jimmy on a regular basis that needs to talk nicely. He yelled something across the room to me and I gave him the look that said I didn't like the tone of his voice and he said, "I was yelling nicely!"

Jimmy and I are listening to "Give Said the Little Stream" and Jimmy says "How does it talk?" I said "How does what talk?" He said, "The stream, it doesn't have a mouth, how can it talk?"
