summer mission #18
Remember my post of summer ideas/plans?
Well, we only have 23 more to accomplish.
K had some things to do on the roof yesterday and put the word out that we could join him.
He showed us how to climb through the roof window in our room, where to put our feet, how to avoid crotch injuries at the midpoint and how to climb to the peak like a crab.
It was a good day for it - not too hot...the roof is black...
So, you climb out, skibble up, and then sit out on the flat part over Youngest's room.
The view down the street isn't that great. It might be better in the winter.
The view in the other direction is okay...but leafy.
I think it could be a good place to relax - but it's not especially quiet up there.
Proof that I was there.
Negotiating the re-entry is slightly trickier than getting up there.
K was wearing his gutter-cleaning gloves.
One goes through the roof-window feet first, finds the chair below and attempts to, fluidly, pass through and into the house.
But we did it!
I'm hoping we attempt the whole "make fire" thing next - and though it was suggested we try it on the roof, I voted that down.

I had a couple of funny moments imagining me and my large belly trying to get back inside that window...it would take ropes and pulleys.
Here you are, already checking things off, and me? Haven't even made my list yet.
I can't even LOOK when Dale is on the roof.
I won't let my husband get on the roof at this new house. He is a bit of a klutz and I am scared -- but there is a tree that needs to be trimmed back so it doesn't scrape the roof. What to do, what to do.
I also liked all your shoes.
That first picture made me a bit woozy :\ And I'm not even scared of heights.
No fire on the roof? That's it. We're taking away your "fun mom" badge until further notice.
Oh, and remind me to tell you about the time dh was stranded on the roof while I was vacuuming and I couldn't hear him banging and yelling....
cheers to summer fun with the family!

My boys think I'm cool for learning to play Yu-Gi-Oh! with them and for snow tubing with them, but this beats my efforts hands down.
And aren't you ambitious, crossing off your to do list items already!
