Colton Makes a Gingerbread House

C: I'm supposed to have someone--YOU--help decorate!

C: Why are they working on the telegraph poles?

Me: I'm leaving and never coming back!
C: I won't drive you crazy anymore, Mom.
Me: I was joking, buddy.  Don't worry.

Dad: If Mom doesn't throw me off the ferry...
C: Why are you gonna throw Dad off the ferry?
Me: Dad is teasing, buddy.
C: Oh. Mom, Dad was just teasing. 

Dad: You don't want to wait for me to come back with a yummy lunch?
C: I just want you to get lunch without going shopping.

C: Every day I just want chocolate chip cookies. But not the other kinds.
Me: You don't want the sugar cookies with sprinkles that you made?
C: Also those ones.
Me: What about the date-filled ones? 
C: Also those too.
Me: Good to see you aren't picky.

Happy decorating!

Colton Was in the Circus?

Intently watching Super Why

Exasperated by the mamarazzi

C: Hey Mom, when I was in the circus I ate some crunchy apples, shiny oranges, and pears!

C: Hurry, Mom, fast as you can!! The drain is unplugged and I can't plugged it!

Me: What was your favorite part about today?

C: Working.

Me: Working?
C: Yeah, working with my tools!  What did you do today?
Me: Mama went to the casino!
C: And I want to go to the museum!
Not quite the same thing, but alright!

C: What is that noise?
Me: It's raining.
C: Why is it raining on our house? I don't want it to rain!

C: But Mom, don't unplug the drain! In the morning we can unplug it!



C: This ticket (faux wood from tool set) is for Dad, but Dad isn't here so I put it in my wallet (tool tub)!  My window is open, but I will keep my ticket safe!  Mom, when you're done being lots of busy, I will give you a ticket!

Me: In a little bit.

C: Oh, but please, please, please can you get it?!
Me: In a while.
C: Just one while. Please can you have just one while?

On how to eat a cough drop ~
C: Don't swallow your swallow thing!
