Cold. Snow. No school.

All the kids have been out of school since last Friday. I enjoy letting them stay up late and then sleep late. Translate that to mommy language - I get to sleep late and not get out of the house at 7 am. We have kinda been just hanging around, watching movies and playing.

Tripp decided today that he was going to surf down the stairs. He has a little boogie board we bought when we went to the beach last - last summer. So, with Eli cheering him on at the bottom of the steps and Emma hanging out on top, Tripp became his own stuntman. It was hilarous! He would start out standing on top of the board like he was surfing, and then he would wiggle - just so - the board would start down the steps. Then, he let go, rolled down the steps on his belly and finished off with a grand finale of a double roll at the bottom.

Dave came in during the performance and Tripp paused so his dad could watch. After a couple of flips, both Dave and I walked off. I heard Emma tell Tripp to "do it again - you are losing your audience."

Ah, they are awesome.
