Eager Beavers

One of the many characteristics I find so amazing about our kids is their general enthusiasm toward life and some of the simple things it has to offer.
For example, whenever we encounter a flight of stairs, the three munchkins view it as an opportunity to find out how many steps belong to that particular set of stairs. They're so excited as they barrel down the stairs, faces bright with smiles of exhiliration, counting each step with determination, all the while, trying to be the first one down, or at least not to be the rotten egg. They have no awareness of the general public, so if you so happen to be in a stairwell with the Schulz kids, look out.
Whenever we go to the healthclub, we usually end up parking on the top level of the ramp. The kids love this, because they get to count all the steps in the 5 flights of stairs. Each time, though, they all come up with a different total, so yesterday I decided to count too. I believe there are 86 steps including the platforms.
