On Shaky Ground

If you haven't already heard, we had a moderate earthquake here last night, about 15 miles from where I live. It was either a 4.5 or a 5.0, but definitely could be felt. The kiddies were a little freaked. They were in the boys' room on upper bunk, where the shaking was probably a little more intense. Poor K starting crying since she didn't know what was happening. Then I reminded her about the "earth quicks" (that's what she calls them). She calmed down and started talking about the house wiggling and how brave she would be for the next time. They were all wound up for a good 45 minutes after that, running around showing how brave they both are. It was cute.

Speaking of brave, my poor baby had her first (and hopefully last) CAVITY today! Can you believe it..only 4 years old and they are already drilling. Yikes! She was such a good girl and it was kinda funny watching her get used to them "putting her tooth to sleep". I could tell when the novacaine (sp?) started to work cuz she got that rubber lip look. When we got home I took a picture...I wanted to capture her crooked little smile, but she kinda just gave me a numb stare.

And then of course, Thing 1 wanted his picture taken, so I had him pose with his "dental goodies". The floss, by the way, has already been ripped from the dispenser and fashioned into a repelling line for one of his action figures. Oh well, whatcha gonna do?
