Colton the Foodie

And now, a word from our sponsor....
(Colton M&Ms Please)

Me: Dad and I will both be home on Thursday.
C: Does that mean we can have Dutch babies?
Me: I don't know, you'll have to ask the cook!

Me: I brought you a cupcake home from our potluck!
C: That's just what I always wanted you to bring!

Me: Did you like your cupcake?
C: Yep!  But I would rather have what was on the sign.  When can we go to the dessert store again?  I will tell Dad to get me some cookie dough. Because that's what I've always wanted!
Me: You can help me make cookies tomorrow instead, and then you will have some dough to eat.

Licking the batter for the zucchini bread (yes, we made both) ~
C: This is even better than the cookie batter!

C: Are you excited for the fireworks show?  It's going to be the best fireworks ever!

C: I'm going to save a sparkler for Dad! 

C: I am sad that all my friends are 5 before me. 
Me: But you'll be 5 in a few more days!
C: And Mom? We just have to go to Red Robin to get some balloons to decorate.

C: You know what will be the best present ever? To have all of my family at my party!
Me: How come that's the best present ever?
C: Because I would have so many people to hug!  Like you, and Dad, and Nanan, and Nana...

C: I'm tired of waiting for that fireworks show.
Me: Well, I can't make it darker.
C: Well, if we lasso down the sun, then the moon will come out. And then it would be sunny in our car! 

C: I have to tell you something.  The sun is a really strong energy source so we can't have it in something small like a car.

Me: Where did my sunshine go?
C: We should just take down all those gray clouds!

Colton Does the Fourth

Red, white & blue bike ride!
2.2 mi bike ride with the kiddo out on the river trail while Mom attempted that running thing when I wasn't pulling the little guy over hills/bumps and out of the mud.  Much more walking for me these days, but it was still a nice one!

Me: Should we make peanut butter cookies or peanut butter and chocolate cookies?
C: No thanks, I'm just making jam!
Dad & Colton made a batch of strawberry jam.  Yummo!

C: I'm just gonna annoy you and I will watch more fireworks than you!

 Sparklers were stinky 
C: Hey Justin!  ... Hey Justin! ... Hey Justin! ... Hey Justin! ... Hey Justin! ... Hey Justin! ... Hey Justin! ... Hey Justin! ... Hey Justin! ... Hey Justin! ... Hey Justin! ... Hey Justin! ... Hey Justin! ... We have cute fireworks.

C: Can we do some different fireworks?

C: I want a firework with all sorts of kinds of colors!

C: I'm all hot and bothered.

On the way home ~
C: FIREWORKS! ... Fireworks! ... fireworks over there... fireworks... Zzz...
