Fashion by Colton

Fashion by Colton...blue camo pants and Angry Birds!

C: I'm tired of waiting for my birthday! I've been waiting for 59 weeks!
Me: There are only 52 weeks in a year.
C: And I've been waiting all that time!

C: And I didn't throw up at all last night. That means I'm super-super-feeling-much-better.

Playing Xbox ~
C: Or I can do my Goona Shaker again.
Dad: What?
C: My Goona Shaker.
Dad: You’ll have to show me.
(selects a track)
Dad: Oh, Laguna Seca.
C: Yeah.

C: The easiest way to go up the hill is to go down.

C: My legs are all wored out!

Colton Is Sick

LOL, note the "tail"

C: *sneeze* See? I told you I’m super sick. And I’m super sad.
Me: I think you’ll be all right, bud.

C: Know what the comfiest place is down here? The wardrobe!

Me: Do you want some chicken noodle soup?
C: No, I think my tummy wants a quesadilla. Quesadillas are gooder than soup!

Me: We should have soup for dinner.
C: But I want tornellini! (tortellini)
Me: I don't think your tummy will like the tomato sauce. We can have it for lunch tomorrow if you're feeling better.
C: For breakfast?

C: I need to go to the doctor. Doctors know everything.

C: Can you call the doctor and have him come here? Because I'm super sick.

C: Can you call my coach and tell him I will be too sick in the morning?

C: Are you sad that I am sick?
Me: Of course I am!
C: What if you and I were sick at the same time? Then Dad would have to take care of us!
Me: I'm sure he would, bud.

C: Look at this race car I built!  It has 15 gears!  And it's faster than... than... it's faster than a motorcycle!

Me: Here honey, have some soup.
C: I'm afraid it won't do any good.

C: I will pick out what movie I want next.  But my legs won't let me balance very well. 

Colton Goes Pretend Camping

C: I got to sit and cuddle with Mom until I farted.
Boys...!

C: In this green space (aka Canada), there are lots of camping spots, so that's where I am going to camp!

Me: How long was your camping trip?
C: 55 days!
Me: That's a long time!
C: Yeah, it was 14 weeks!

Me: What did you have for lunch on your camping trip?
C: Clams and fries.
Me: At the lake?
C: No, from the bakery!

Me: I would like to take you and your brothers to go see Yellowstone again.
C: And we could stay for one night.
Me: Hopefully a few nights.  It takes a few days to go through Yellowstone since it's huge.
C: And dynamic!

C: And Yellowstone has trees that come on fire.
Me: Only if there's lightning, or somebody drops a cigarette, or something and starts the fire.  They don't spontaneously burst into flame.
C: Only if we had our fire-lighter-thing and accidentally dropped it and it started a fire.

C: Driving races is much harder than running races!  The turns are a lot more complicated.
Me: Because turning left is hard.

C: Cars with tails have those little, red lights in them. And do you know what they're for?
Me: No, what?
C: Brakes! Is that pretty cool?
Me: You sure do want a car with a spoiler, eh?

Colton Is a World Traveler

Playing is harrrrrd.

C: Do you know what my favorite state is?
Me: Nope, what is it?
C: Yellowstone!

Looking at a road atlas for the US ~
C: Mom!  I went around the whole Earth!

C: I love cars with tails!  I think they're cutie-pies.

On video games ~
C: My finger is tired from all that braking. I just have to go upstairs and take a rest.

C: Can we go to the train store today?
Me: No, we don't have time.
C: How about in two sleeps?
Me: That would be Monday and I am not in charge on Monday.
C: No, I said TWO sleeps.
Me: And I said that would be Monday and I will have to work.
C: But I never get to go to the train store! I haven't been there for a year!

C: It's not fun when we have to go home.

C: Maybe we can visit "the other Colton" next week?
Me: Sorry bud, they're moving to Vegas.  Down by Phoenix.
C: Oh!  But I am going to miss them!

Beach Bums

Colton makes a "recogniser" (from Tron) out of Legos

Dad: Let's wipe your face. You have chocolate allll over it.
C: You can just lick it off.

C: Did you see that car with the fire picture on it? Is that pretty silly?

Me: The one with flames?

C: No, not flames! It's not a real fire!

Me: Jensen is pretty full of beans this morning.

C: That means we can eat him!

Itty bitty seastar!

C: Everytime we come back from being somewhere we need to go to the ice cream shop.

Me: What do you want for breakfast?

C: I need something cold to eat because it's so hot outside.

Me: Okay, what do you want?

C: Cupcakes.

Me: Those aren't cold or for breakfast. Nice try though.

C finishes his ice cream ~

C: Can I still have my cupcake?

Colton Does Father's Day

C: Mom, my head hurts.
Me: I'm sorry, buddy.  I don't know what to do for it.
C: My dad usually eats my brains. 

C: I have an idea of what we should have for breakfast!
Me: We're having a special breakfast today.
C: What is it?
Me: Orange rolls with frosting on top.
C: I have an idea for an even specialer breakfast!
Me: Yeah?  What?
C: Strawberry-blueberry-ootmeal-shortcake!
Me: Well, we don't have any strawberries, or blueberries, or shortcake.
C: But we do have ootmeal!  (it's not oatmeal, it's ootmeal) 

C: Is it nap time?
Me: For the babies, yes. 
C: Is it nap time for you and Dad? My dad yells at the babies when they sleep and it's not nap time.
Dad would like me to clarify that he doesn't actually yell at them.  Well, duh.

C: My Nanan can fix my move-by-itself-James!
Dad: She can, huh?
C: Yeah, because she's a magical!

C: Why do I always have to go to bed?  I'm gonna be SO BORED!
Me: You're supposed to be bored so you can sleep!

Colton Tells the Truth

This looks like trouble...

C: Dad, my brain is staying hurting!

C: Do you like that I got that (dream catcher in my car) for you?
Me: Yes, I do.
C: And whenever you see it, you can just think of me!
Me: Good idea.
C: And if you don't have anything else to think of, then you must not be very happy.
Me: But if I look at the dream catcher, I'll be happy?
C: Yeah! We should put them in everyone's car!
Me: So everyone can think of you?
C: Yeah! Even the bad guys!
*sigh*

C: I want a car like that!
Me: Like what?
C: One with a tail!

C: My balloon popped! *sob*
Me: It's just a small hole, you can still play with it.
C: No, it popped! *sob*
Me: I can't find the hole, can you?
C: It's right here, where those slinders (slivers) are!

Nanan: What were you and your mom arguing about?
C: She said I was complaining when I was telling the TRUTH!
Me: You were telling the truth, but you were still complaining.
C: My mom never tells the truth!
Nanan: I think she does tell the truth.
C: My mom always tells the truth wrong and I always tell it right!

Me: How'd you get so big and strong?
C: I ate lots of carrots.
Me: But you said you didn't like carrots.
C: I almost do.

C: Mom? Why do you have to zoe? (sew)

Colton on Short Sleeves

C: It's not nice to hurt people's feelings.
Me: You're right; it's not.
C: So I will just tell every Starbucks to close when you get there.
He was mad because I didn't buy him something to eat right after dinner, but had the nerve to get a coffee.

C: I'm just laying in the sunbeam because it is sunny. And I put on a short sleeve shirt and short sleeve pants.

C: Did you know that Jamie cut his finger today?
Me: Yeah.  Poor guy. 
C: I hope it grows back!

C: How 'bout you win the race tomorrow? Just run your fastest so you can win!
Me: Sure, no prob, bud. 

C: I really miss Dad today.
Me: Aww, how come?
C: Because he's not here. 

C: Mom? Maybe some time you can sleep in my room.
Me: You'd like that, huh?
C: Yeah, when the brothers don't have to cry in the night, you could sleep there.

Smells like Camping

C: The next time that we go to the Slurpee store, we’re buying M&Ms!

Me: I sure have cute boys!
C: Do you like my haircut?
Me: I do!
C: And why is yours so long?

C: I think this is too much traffic.
Me: I agree!  What should we do about it?
C: I think we should just take the back lane.
Me: I would like to, but we need to make it to the exit first.

Me: You can see Jordan on Saturday if you go to Aly's party with me, or you can stay here with Nanan and the babies.
C: I love you both, so I will just have to think! 

C: I smell something like camping!

Me: Sunday is Dad's Day.
C: When is Kid's Day?
Me: Every day is Kid's Day.  Your birthday is Kid's Day.

C: Will you get me an iPod when I'm a dad?
Me: You can get your own iPod when you're a dad.

C: You can get me Rocky--that train I don't have--for my birthday.
Me: I already have something else in mind for your birthday.
C: What is it?
Me: I'm not telling you.
C: Why?
Me: I want it to be a surprise.
C: Okay, I will just tell Dad to get me Rocky.

Me: What are you doing?
C: Whispering in his ear.
Me: What were you saying?
C: I was trying to say a bad word.
Me: What bad word?
C: I said 'poop' in his ear!

Radio: … and now you’re with Dan the Man, not David the Douche.
C: HA! David the Dude!
Oh good, he didn't hear that correctly!

Coltons Are Wonderful Things!

C: Every time I hurt myself, it turns to rubber!
The wonderful thing about Tiggers
Is Tiggers are wonderful things
Their tops are made out of rubber
Their bottoms are made out of springs

C: I need a flag for my castle.  Do we have any flags?
Me: I don't think so.  We should have kept the ones from one of your class trips.
C: But I need a flag for my castle to be finished!
Me: Here.
C: But that's a paper airplane.
Me: And now it's a flag.
C: How did you do that?!
Me: Magic.

C: If you go to Yellowstone, you have to sleep in hotels!

C: All the babies you grow in your tummy are the ones we have to take care of.
Me: Yep, but I’m done growing babies.
C: Why?
Me: Because we have enough babies, don’t you think?
C: No.

C: And for your birthday, Dad is gonna take you to a kitchen where you watch people cook.
Me: Oh? The place where they make a volcano out of the onion and there’s a big fire?
C: No, they cook without the big fire there. You are going to sit in the kitchen and watch them cook.
Me: Is it called the Steakhouse?  The Japanese Steakhouse?
C: No, it’s called Red Robin! And we’re gonna eat there too!

C: When I'm an adult, I'm gonna have a 3-seat, no--a 4-seat car that I can drive the babies around in and then I'm gonna have a 1-seat car that I can drive Mom in!
Dad: Wouldn't that be a 2-seat car, buddy?
