Oh Colton...

This kid won't stop. He's been on a ROLL lately... Friday night, Jason and I were driving around on our way to dinner out with the kids. (I use Fish Friday's/Lent as an opportunity for dinner out with the family -- it's either fish sticks or eat out! :) Hence the date...) As we were being nosy, driving through a subdivision, looking at homes, Colton pipes up from the back seat, "I like that one, guys. Can we have it?" -- as if having a house were that easy. On Saturday, the kids rode with me to run errands. Bank, library, and then to a consignment shop to look at some end tables for Matt & Sarah.
