Team Ostler: End of the Summer Bonfire

End of the Summer Bonfire

Last weekend before school started we decided to go to the beach and have a little bonfire as a family. It was so much fun. We've been here for 3 years and we totally should have done this before now. It was a perfect end to the summer. You really can't go wrong with a beautiful sunset, the ocean, and s'mores. Oh yeah, and a raging fire to keep us warm.

The boys liked to pretend their roasting sticks were guns or spears or something violent and grotesque like that. Oh well, at least they weren't poking each other.

I think I have a little pyro on my hands. He couldn't get enough of the fire. I'm in trouble - or maybe I should say his scout leaders are in trouble. ;)

I don't think I've seen my boys this dirty before. This picture doesn't truly capture it. It was pretty bad. I had to scrub my tub really good the next day to get it all out. But it was totally worth it. (I can't remember why Ben is crying but he really did have a good time while we were there.)

Amber: Your blog makes me want to blog more, but I feel like I don't have anything exciting to post.

Bonfire looks like fun. . . and yep, those boys are DIRTY!; October 11, 2011 at 9:42 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?"
