It was a nice spring day so we decided to head to the zoo.

The 'required' John Ball shot.

Colin wondering where the horse is.

Fave picture of the day!

Colin received this "church bank" from church last week for the Forward campaign. He loves carrying it around under his arm. He's so proud of it. He loves looking for money and putting it in. He frequently asks when he can bring it to church and has even tried leaving in his jammies to bring it to church. I'm sure the fact that it is incredibly loud when he shakes it probably doesn't hurt how much he likes it either :)

Mike and I are in the dining room talking about day at work when we hear the screen door close. I bolt into the living room and Colin is standing there with a leaf in his hand. Clearly a leaf he grabbed from the porch. Now we've had this conversation before; Colin is never to open the door himself. He's never actually open the door before but he's tried. So the conversation goes like this:

Mommy sternly: "Colin Isaac! Are you allowed to open the door by yourself?"
Colin: "no. naughty."
Mommy: "Colin does not open the door. Only Mommy and Daddy open the door."
Colin: "no Colin open door. Mommy open door. Daddy open too."
Mommy: "yup. What happens when Colin opens the door?" (meaning timeout)
Colin VERY excitedly: "Colin get LEAF!!!"

Well played Colin, well played.
