Day #204

Yes! They are on top of the roof!

I got home tonight and Nathan and Leah were all dressed up, Nathan was mumbling something about "I am going to do it for my country." Leah was right behind him saying "I am ready lets go".

Dressed with helmets on long pants, its 80+ degrees out, backpacks on, heavy coats. So I just had to ask them what they were doing. Nate gives me a sigh and says, " I have to do this for my country" and walks off. So I ask Leah the same question. She proceeds to tell me that Nathan is going to boost her up onto the roof of the shed and that she was going to jump down to the ground! So I had to ask her 2 questions.

1. How are you going to get on the roof?

2. Whats going to keep you from getting hurt when you hit the ground?

The answers.

Nathan is going to boost me up on the roof.
And her backpack is a parachute. "I am sure that was Nathan talking"

And off she went.

This I have to go see!

Nate proceeds to get a chair from the patio table and carry it over to the shed. He gets Leah up on the chair with him and is trying to lift her off the chair but just can't seem to pick her up. So being the dad I am I intervene before someone gets hurt.

So I proceed to help boost Leah up on the roof, WHAT I really wanted to see this thing work. They were doing it for their country after all, right! Then I helped Nathan up on the roof. Well things change once you are about 6-8 feet off the ground. Leah would not stand up, Smart Girl. Nathan would stand up but had to hold onto the tree. So after the photo op. I got them both down and told them not to climb on the shed ever!

At least my kids are patriotic, right!
And I am the coolest dad because they got to get on the roof!
