Team Ostler: Halloween Fun

Another Halloween has been and gone and the kids had a lot of fun this year. Now we are just dealing with the after effects of the boys asking us for more candy every 5 minutes throughout the day. Jimmy was Batman, Luke was a frog, and Ben was a garbage truck. Originally Ben wanted to be a monster truck and I started looking online for ideas and decided that it would be way too hard for me to pull that one off so I talked him into being a garbage truck instead. It took a lot of time but it turned out really cute and the boys have had a lot of fun playing with it. It was made from recycled boxes and the whole thing ended up costing only about $8 so it was definitely worth it.

This picture was taken at the trunk or treat at the church. It was hilarious watching Jimmy trying to eat this donut tied to a string. It took him at least 5 minutes to get it in his mouth, but he was very persistent. He really wanted the donut and he didn't want to use his hands.

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?"
