Snow Coltons

C: I'm thinking we should have spaghetti for dinner!
Dad: I haven't pulled anything, but I think your mom said something about breakfast for dinner.
C: YAY!

Me: How's your nose today?
C: It's not any better. I have an idea! I think you need to take real good care of me.

Spring snow - 3/22/13

C: And maybe we can get a cute little puppy!
Me: Mmm, not while we have babies.
C: Well, when I'm the parent, I'm just going to have three puppies!
Me: Are you going to have three kids too?
C: No, I'm just going to have FOUR dogs!

C: Do you know why there wasn't much snow out there?
Me: Why?
C: Because most of it was in a ball.

Colton on Evolution

C: Who made the Earth?
Me: I don't know. A bunch of gasses exploded and made the sun, the moon, and the stars.
C: Who was the first person on the Earth?
Me: Depends on who you ask.  The bible says God made Adam, and he was the first one.  Scientists say we gradually evolved and became humans.
C: But the dinosaurs were here first.
Me: Right.
C: And then the presidents.
Me: Yes.
C: And then the builders.
Me: The builders came before us?
C: Yeah, they had to build houses and cars so we can drive.
Me: Oh, right.  And then us?
C: Yeah.  Only you came before me because you're older than me.
Me: Are you calling me old?
C: Yeah!

Colton on Healthy Living

Two miles on blades AFTER an hour
of hockey this morning!

C: Mom, I found an apple seed!  We should go outside and plant it.
Me: Mmm, we don't really have room for another apple tree.  Go ahead and throw it away.
C: I'm allowed to go outside.

Growing wall 'o art.

C on raw collard greens ~
C: It's delicious! It's like I'm a lady bug!

C: When you see me running like this, it's because I'm moving my muscles.  Do you like it when I move my muscles?  We're having a very healthy day!  

Then he proceeded to do "push-ups," which looked more like jump squats to me, but whatever. And he keeps getting into the weights, and then showing off his shoulder to us and having us admire how big his muscles are.  

C: I'm wearing my handsome shirt!  Do you like being handsome too? 

Me: Girls are usually referred to as pretty, but sure.
