Team Ostler: Sister for a Week

Sister for a Week

So my boys keep bugging me to have another baby. They say that they want a sister and they want her to be named Leia. That way we will have Luke and Leia in true Star Wars fashion:) While I think that they are really cute with their request I'm not sure if it's going to happen. Right now, three seems like enough to me. Who knows, I might change my mind though.

We did get to see what it was like to have a sister when we got to watch my niece Ellie for a week while my sister went to Hawaii. She is a few months older than Luke and such a cutie. It was fun to have her here but our apartment became very claustrophobic with four kids running around. I didn't take many pictures while she was here but here are some from the day I took Luke and Ellie to zoo.

Jodi Reeve: If you do want to try for a girl, you should research the "timing" method. My SIL told me about it and she had many friends swear by it, so we gave it a try for the 3rd and it worked! I was surprised, and you know HF will send what he knows should be, but I have heard many people try this method and some say they have "picked" the babies sex every time!; March 8, 2011 at 10:30 PM
Erin: Our boys are asking for another baby, too, and they want another girl. I told them we would keep that in mind. (That's my nice non-committal response.); March 9, 2011 at 12:51 PM
Bonnie: I love these pictures of Luke and Ellie. Will you please email them to me. Thanks; March 10, 2011 at 8:26 PM
Amber: Oh, please have a girl. . . . I'll come visit and help with a baby if you have another one (okay, I'll come no matter what or when). I just want to see the boys with a baby sister.; March 12, 2011 at 3:22 PM
Dimples :): So if you have a Luke and Leia, does that mean Jim is Darth Vader?; March 14, 2011 at 2:40 PM

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?"
