Inventors

Parker and Jason have been really into "inventing" things lately. They have been really creative about it, and somehow they have become the "creative" team and I am supposed to be the "build" team. At this point they think that I can build just about anything they dream up. For example, here is a recent converstation:

Parker: "Dad, let's make a flying skateboard."
Dad: (in my most encouraging voice) "That sounds really cool."
Jason: "And make it so that it transforms into a motorcycle..."
(short pause)
Jason: "...and then pops out Hubba Bubba."
Dad: "Wow...uhh...a flying skateboard that tranforms into a motorcyle and pops out Hubba Bubba..."

I love it! These kids rock! Unfortunately, I don't know how much longer I can go without producing one of these, before they stop thinking I can. Although, they do offer suggestions sometimes. Here is what Parker suggested a day or so later:

Parker: "You need to make a really flat engine...and it has to be really powerful..."

Most of their inventions a have something to do with rockets, flying, and shooting.
