The Great Pumpkin

Grand opening for Colton's shelter

C: What'd we get in the mail today?
Me: Bills.
C: But we're not gonna give the mailman any more money!

C: Aren't I a good artist? 
Me: Very!
C: Good enough to be a mailman?
C has gone through an entire sketchpad recently making us letters and putting them in the mailbox.


C: When we get home, please don't make me go outside. I'm too hot.

Birthday card for the babies.  He wrote out the entire Happy Birthday song for them.


C completed another round of swim lessons on Sunday. He just needs to master a few more skills before moving to level 3! He is pictured below learning the back stroke. He has to be able to do the back stroke and front crawl for 10' to move on.


Let's play HOCKEY!  Skills drills 10/20.  Colton is in gold.

Colton and Tron

C: When I grow up, I want to drive a motorcycle!
Dad: I've never wanted to have a motorcycle.
C: Why?
Dad: Because people don't see you, and if someone hits you, you wouldn't survive.
C: Yeah, well, I will be real careful, and have perfect balance, with the training wheels off of my motorcycle!

C: I will wear a helmet just like Sam Flynn!  (Tron)

C: I don't have a motorcycle.
Me: Nope.
C: Or a helicopter.
Me: Nope.
I don't generally give little boys toys like that.

C: You have to read quieter when my Tron music is on!

Colton went to go see Harold and the Purple Crayon at the Children's Theatre with Nanan ~
Me: The actors wear costumes up on the stage.
C: Yeah, and I want to wear my costume!
Jamie: You might scare the other kids there.

Colton Is Ambitious

C: Mom, do we have any cookies?
Me: Nope, sorry buddy.
C: Well, I will get some. In my car.  It's green like you!

At the gym ~
Me: Can I have my towel?
C: I will just be right back!
Me: But what if I get sweaty?
C: I will be a long, long way away!  And I will be too busy.
Me: Guess I'm getting sweaty.  See you in a bit, buddy!

C: Where are you going today?
Me: I'm going to go have dinner with Daddy tonight and then am going for a run tomorrow.
C: I am going to be there at the finish! I like to see you at the finish, and when you get there I am going to the next finish!
