The Winter of Colton's Discontent

Me: Sarah will be here in a little bit.  Jason and Jordan are going to the dump.
C: Aww, but I wanted to go to the dump!  Maybe they'll go again tomorrow.

C: Mom? Can we take your car tomorrow?
Me: Sure, I guess.  Why?
C: So we can have the new mints Dad bought.

C: YAY! I'm so excited for winter!
Me: Why?
C: Because it's almost Christmas.
Me: And why are you excited about Christmas?
C: I might get another Skylander! Unless I have them all by then.

Dad: God help us when he DOES actually have all the Skylanders...

C: You know what I learned about homework? I don't have to read to you.
Me: You can read to us, or we can read to you. It all counts.
C: Good, because I don't really like reading.
Me: I like it when you read to me.
C: Well, I don't.
Me: I'll make you a deal, I'll read half and you can read half.
C: THAT'S NOT FAIR!
Me: It's not up for discussion.
C: YES IT IS!

...

C: What are you doing?

Me: Writing to your dad.  You would know if you liked reading.  

Colton Makes Cookies

C: This hockey practice keeps making me tired!

Good practice today!  It was the start of a new session, so it was free skate for most of the first half.  C did a ton of skating, but then got tired during the second half and kept wanting to come off the ice every time he passed the door.  And twice brought me some stuff from the ice (a "doh" and a piece of plastic).  I had to let him know he wasn't responsible for cleaning the ice.   Dohs=what he started calling dog fur tumbleweeds as a babe.  LOL

C: I will check the cookies and tell you when they're nummy!
We made Opa's famous peanut butter & chocolate chip cookies. 

C: You have to do everything you can do because you can!
Sage advice.

C: Why is this your house?
Me: Because Dad & I bought it.
C: What if I buyed it?
Me: Then you could live here too.
C: I will!  And then you can live with me! Is that nice of me?
Me: Yes, very nice.

C: Do we have two high chairs?
Me: We'll get another one.
C: Can the babies fit in one?
Me: Nope, we'll need another chair eventually.
C: We could just hold one baby on our lap.
Me: Then how would you eat?
C: I would just give the baby to you.
I see.

WIN!

Me: Are you ready to get up?
C: No, it's dark.
