We had an exciting adventure Tuesday when Hayden and Tyler experienced their first "Earthshake."
Around 11:40 they were happily playing all around the living room when the earth started rocking. I quickly gathered my crew and we sat in a doorway. While being bombarded with questions by Hayden - what's happening? what's happening? what's happening? and enduring a Tyler lock around my neck - he was not about to let go - I proceeded to explain exacly what an earth quake was. "The earth shifting below us, the earth moving etc." I explained it in more detail.
Somehow my definition was either vague or just really misinterperted because now Tyler's favorite question to ask is "Is the planet coming again?" I think our catastrophe went from an "earth shaking" to a possible planetary collision? Not certain what is going on in the heads of my little ones.
Either way, we definitely had an experience. We had pictures fall off the bookcases, things fall off the entertainment center and stuff in the kitchen fell down. Mostly it made me rethink what kind of knick knacks I keep in certain places - gotta keep the house "earthshake safe"

Thanks for the pics. What cute boys! Love hearing their take on the CA phenomenon. You'd think we never felt an earthquake before...but Nat said this was a pretty big one. So, maybe not....at least we never thought the planets were attacking us! Ha ha. Tyler is the winner for cute questions this time. Glad to know everyone is sitting in their doorways. Apparently that is the rule of thumb? See Nat's blog for the picture of Will in his.
Hilarious. Those boys are too cute.
