Colton on Mothers

Colton on advertising ~
C: And I really want one!  So I don't keep my room messy, because I'm getting really tired of cleaning it myself.  You can even order one now.

C: That show is really annoying me!
Me: You're not even watching it.
*door slam*

C: And apparently, I'm too hot to be a Jedi right now.

Me: Did you really put all your laundry away?  

C: Yes.

Me: You didn't just hide it in your dirty clothes laundry again?

C: OH MOM !!  I'm getting really tired of doing my laundry myself!

Historical Colton

C: They should paint that old, rusty engine.
Me: I don't think they will.
C: Why not?
Me: It's part of the history of this town.
C: I didn't know this town had history!

Investigating potential camping sites... win!

C: Do you know why I want to lift weights? Because I want to be strong like you!  And so I can grow up to be as strong as a giant, a Skylander Giant!

Of course he finds a gun-shaped stick.  Sigh.

Me: There's the old tree!  (historical marker)
C: So that's what smells!

Tiny frog

C: Why do you always take us on these long walks?
Me: Says the boy that ran miles and miles at the jog-a-thon.
C: I can just go 3 miles.
Me: We haven't even made it a half mile yet, so march, mister!

Silvertips Training Camp

Me: Did you have fun watching the Tips today?
C: Uhm...sure.
Me: I see.
C: The best part was getting my teddy bear.
Me: Of course it was.

Colton on Star Wars

C: Do you know what we could do while the cookies bake?
Me: Hum?
C: Practice looking for Easter eggs, so we're the best finders at Easter.

Me: I expect you to have one hundred percent better behavior if you want to continue to have friends over.
C: Or just a billion percent.
Me: Sure, that too.


C: Maybe someday you can buy me the Eliminating Falcon!
Uhhhh...

That's a nice look.

Woot!  Training wheels off today!

Watching Star Wars ~
C: And he is going to grow a new arm since it got cut off, right?
Me: Yep.
C: I just hope that never happens to me! Besides, when I grow up, I'm not going to be a Jedi.  I'm thinking about being a mechanic.  And instead of working on cars, I'm thinking about working on something else.
Me: Like what?
C: I was thinking of working on race cars, and stuff.

Catching up with Colton

Me: Yum, watermelon in the summer is my favorite!
C: My favorite winter food is Dutch Babies!

C: The thing I don't like about sunny days is that it's just too sunny!

C: I have a headache, and I think what makes it worse is talking.

C: Why are you taking that down?
Me: It's not our birthdays any more.
C: But it makes my thinking space happier!

Audrey: My tummy likes strawberries, but my throat likes bacon.

C: When you pick your nose and don't wash your hands, you're wedding germs.

 
C: Jordan? Do you know what I'm watching in my brain? Skylanders.
Jordan: I think that's the same thing as screen time and you can't have that today.
