Colton Does First Grade

Me: I loved first grade; I bet you're excited.
C: I'm most excited about 9th grade.
Me: Yeah?  Why 9th?
C: Because then I can go to college! 
Me: You've gotta get through 12th grade, kiddo.
C: WHAAAAAT?!

C: And I hope we get to ride rockets this year!

Totally digging the bow-tie he put on

Me: Do you think any of your friends from last year will be in your class this year?
C: I hope they're all in Bridger's class so I can have some peace and quiet. 
LOL!

And now back to his happy place.

Update: great first day!  He has a couple of friends in his class from last year, and he was excited to have two PE classes a week, as well as two recesses a day.  Sounds like a good start.

Colton Goes to Oxbow Farm

Farmer: We can't eat these grapes yet, they're just babies.
C: Yeah, and I have two babies!

Me: I get your crab!
C: No! I like crab, just not the white part!
So....that leaves the butter?

Talking to Jordan ~
C: Hey-my-friend-Jordan?

Farmer: What is your favoite lunch-time vegetable?
C: Pumpkins!  And my favorite color of pumpkin is orange!

Colton Plays Cards

Me: Okay, Colton, you can get up now!
C: Mom, did I sleep?
Me: No.
C: Why did I not?
Me: I don't know!

C: Mom, I'm so excited! 
(to play Go Fish)

He creamed me.. but that's what I get for pretending like I didn't know exactly what was in his hand :)

And then we made muffins...

C: I ate something I didn't notice!
I'm afraid to ask. (while licking the bowl)

C: Mom, you forgot to fill this!
(holding up an empty wrapper ~ whoops, missed one!)

And then we went to the park...

C: I'm looking for you in here!
