More Nolanisms

So these aren't direct quotes like usual Nolanisms but just silly things that have been happening with him lately. I have to keep writing them down or I'll forget. I know there was another one but I over estimated my memory again and forgot it already, hopefully it pops back into my head so I can add it here.

On Tuesday Nolan didn't have school. But in true Nolan fashion  he got up super early anyway, because what fun is sleeping in? ( - said no one ever) But he was nice enough to let Miles and I sleep in which was lovely. When I came downstairs I immediately saw a bunch of our kitchen towels all over our kitchen counter and floor.
When i asked him what that was about he replied "I was trying to make you fresh squeezed juice." Oh so sweet, right?
"Out of what?" I asked. And he pointed to the now empty 5 pound box of clementines that I had bought the night before.
Follow up question, "What did you do with all the oranges?" and he points to the garbage can. I open it up and sure enough it was filled with chunks of clementine.
Still trying to make sense of it I asked, "What did you use to cut these?" very aware that he might have used a knife which would be terrifying. But he responded "My safety scissors!" I'm impressed now because those are almost impossible to cut with and I couldn't imagine trying to squeeze juice out of a clementine??!
Since I was still waking up I wasn't processing very quickly and just went to work cleaning up the stickiness all over the counters, cabinets and floor.
Then an hour later I thought of another question, "Did you get any juice?"
Huge smiling face "YEP!"
"Where is it?"
Smiling face gone as he looks down, "I drank it."
That's right!

Last week you met Nolan's new bff Corbin (he was the other ninja) and this week it's Colette who is Corbin's older sister. She is just the sweetest little 2nd grader ever! I don't know any other kid that would so graciously play with her younger sibling and his friends...I know MY sister didn't do that...ahem, EMILY!
Here's Nolan and Colette at the Pumpkin patch a few weeks ago.

Corbin was over this week and his dad and sister came to pick him up the kids ran off to play pretend school. Colette was the teacher and they made lists of what plants need and don't need to stay alive. On the list of needs: water, air and dirt. That all checks out. On the don't need list: dirty underwear, toots and burps. I guess that's factually correct? 

The next day on the bus, Nolan got this little book made by Colette. It's my new favorite read.

Sorry the pictures are so small, click on it and it should get bigger. 

Here's what it says.
Page 1: Nolan was a sweet kid. Every time I left his house he gave me a sticker. Nolan is saying  "pick one!" and Colette is saying "this one!"
Page 2: He talks in a sweet voice. Nolan: "Colette can we play this?" Colette: "YES!"
Page 3: When I asked for some paper please he would show me where they are. Colette: "Where are the papers?" Nolan "Follow me Colette!" She even drew our baby gate on the bottom of the stairs. :)
Page 4: But what's best about him is he's a great, nice, giving, awesome kid!

Swooning, how can you not love that? It's already gone in his keepsake files. I will try my hardest to not nerd out on this and imagine their wedding...no promises.
