Team Ostler: Sugar cereal with Grandpa

Sugar cereal with Grandpa

We have been so lucky for the last couple months because Grandpa has been doing some work up in Thousand Oaks so he has made a few trips to visit us lately. The boys love it when Grandpa comes to visit. I usually buy cereal that doesn't have sugar in it. Like plain cheerios and kix, etc. I know, kind of boring, but I really can't believe how much sugar those other cereals have in them. I usually get sugar cereals for special occasions like holidays and birthdays. Anyway, One time when Grandpa was here visiting he was fixing himself some corn flakes and, of course, he put some sugar on the corn flakes. My kids were like, "what is he doing to his cereal?" I told them that Grandpa likes to make his cereal sweet with extra sugar so, of course, they wanted to put sugar on theirs. I said it was okay, but ONLY when Grandpa is here to visit. So last time Grandpa came to visit, he was here when Jimmy got home from school. After giving Grandpa a hug, Jimmy wispered in my ear, "Mommy, can I have cereal with sugar please?" At least he said hello first and gave him a hug. But my kids don't forget! This is a picture of the boys enjoying their sugar cereal with Grandpa. So now they will always associate Grandpa with sugar cereal. Beause he's so sweet, we love him, and we always look forward to having him visit!! Just like frosted flakes or fruit loops.

Amber: That is great! I remember that we didn't get sugar cereal growing up either, but every time we went to our Ostler grandparents house, grandma would give us a box of "sugar cereal"
(Which then consequently we would fight over).. . . and we thought that sugar cereal meant puffs of wheat with a teaspoon of sugar!; March 11, 2009 at 4:04 PM

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?"
