Our earthquake adventure

This morning, Gracie and Izzy were in our bedroom getting their hair done for school. I noticed the dresser was shaking and rattling and the bed was shaking. I was going to gripe at the girls for "bouncing," but they were being still. I looked over at Sam to tell him to quit shaking everything, and his legs were still....about then it hit Sam and me. He said, "earthquake," but very quietly and calmly. Izzy still heard him. About that time, Sophie yells from her bedroom, "Mommy, why is my bed shaking?" Izzy looked very scared, so I told Sophie to come to me, and we told Izzy it was OK. By the time Sophie got to my room, she had realized what had happened. Then we were all excited over experiencing our first "shake-the-house" earthquake :)
