We went out to eat Monday, and the restaurant was virtually quiet. . . except for Colt. He spotted a lady with poofy bleach blonde hair and said (very loudly), "Look Mom! She looks like a lion!!" (and even repeated it a time or two until I acknowledged). Then, a little later a tall lady dressed in red and white walked by. Colt quickly stood up and pointed at her saying, "Look! She looks like Santa!" This was a first. Though David and I were embarrassed we couldn't help but laugh about it a little. Never.A.Dull.Moment.

Colt has been on a roll the last 2 days. . . (Driving him from Grandma and Grandpa's) "Mom, are we in another country yet?" No, we didn't leave the country. We are in a different STATE. "OH! Well I want to go to NEW YORK! NEW YORK!" Ok, and how do you know anything about New York anyways?? --------------------------------------------------------------- Yes, it's been lingering around 105-110 degrees. Colt had a lot of fun at Grandma and Grandpa's swimming pool last week and informed me that we need to "dig a hole in our yard, POUR CEMENT, and fill it with water!" I asked him how he knew to pour cement? He said, "that's just what builders do!" ---------------------------------------------------------------- "Mom, this next baby is going to be a boy because it is a PATTERN. Boy - Girl - Boy - Girl." Guess we better get on the ball if we are having at least 4 according to Colt. ----------------------------------------------------------------- "When I grow up I'm going to be a race car driver, policeman, fireman, mailman, and builder." How are you going to be all of those things Colt? "I'm going to do them ONE AT A TIME of course." Of course. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Admiring the happy meal toy display at "Old McDonalds" - "Mom, how did they CREATE this? Will you ask them?" ------------------------------------------------------------------

When I left Colt to take his nap I told him I was going to do "my chores" (i.e. cooking, cleaning, laundry).  He said, "I have chores too! Like picking you flowers and sleeping and stuff." hahaha
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Later, when he woke up from his nap, he came downstairs and said, "Mom, so are you working hard down here?"

I was helping Colt with a puzzle on the computer this morning when he got so excited and said, "Who's the man?!  Mommy, YOU are the man!"  Wow.  Thanks Son. :-)

Colt got one of his toy cars stuck between the wood floor and the bottom of the door.  When I couldn't get it out Colt said, "Mommy, can you call God and ask him to come to my house to get my car unstuck?"

VERY randomly this morning,

Colt: "Mommy, do you want to have another baby?"

Me: "Not really. . . or not right now.  Why do you want Mommy to have another baby?"

Colt: "Because babies are fun."

Me: "Then why don't you have a baby?"

Colt: "Because I'm a BOY.  BOYS DON'T LAY BABIES!"

Kylie was holding onto Colt when he looked at her and said, "Sis Sis, you are causing me to strain!"
