Team Ostler: Home is where the "new furniture" is

After living with hand me down furniture for the last 6 years, I'm so excited to get new furniture of my own. I know it is kind of backwards that I was able to get new furniture as soon as Jim went back to school, but I think he feels kind of bad about bringing me to this crazy city and he wants to make my stay here a little more bearable and comfortable. It was so much fun putting it all together and decorating. Finally, after watching all of those fun shows on HGTV, I actually got to do it myself!

I know our TV looks really puny with this stand, but maybe one day we will get a nice flat screen plasma TV to fill it in, but for now we are happy with the way it is. I'm just happy to have an entertainment center that doesn't have broken doors and a cardboard back that is hanging from a nail.

This is our new dining room table with the leaf expanded. We usually keep it folded up because there is plenty of room for just our family. This is a pub style table and I love it!

The boys even got a new bunk bed.

They are having tons of fun building forts in it!

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?"
