Friday Funnies

This morning, there was an earthquake here in Washington, DC. Crazy! There was a loud rumble that reached some sort of crescendo and shook things up a bit. I guess that’s what 3.7 feels like.

Of course, it was nothing compared to the earthquakes many of y’all have experienced; but for DC locals, it was “breaking news.”

I thought it was funny to learn how each member of our family reacted. Keep in mind that it was 5:04 a.m.

Me – I immediately thought: “earthquake.” But then I didn’t think we could get those around here.

Mike- Was sure his worst fears had come true, and that one of the huge trees in our yard had finally fallen on the house.

Caly- Woke up screaming bloody murder and wondering why the house was “wiggling.”

Mom – “DC has been bombed!”

Dad – Like father, like daughter, he thought earthquake.

Chad – Zzzzzzz…

Kristin – Zzzzzzz…

Brian – “Wow, that was some loud thunder.”

Steve – told Nicole it was the train near their house. Tough day for him, as he prides himself on knowing about things like earthquakes. Maybe next time, Stevie!

Nicole – Didn’t remember the train ever shaking the house like that before.  She thinks every loud rumble is a bomb or an earthquake. For once, she was right.
 
Did I mention that Chad and Kristin slept right through it?

All right, to be fair, Kristin had a very late meeting last night. And Chad, well, Chad is a teenage boy.

Ok, we're off to Tennesse this weekend, but check back Monday to see what we have planned for the next two weeks.
