The SKY is falling... I mean the EARTH is moving!!!

So, I'm sleeping all snuggly in my bed this morning and for some STRANGE reason, I wake up, look at the clock, and say "why am I wide awake at 5:38am??????" WELL, maybe 'cause my HOUSE IS SHAKING and my bed is moving and there is absolutely no reason for either.... except maybe if there was an EARTHQUAKE. Shannen was in the shower and Natalie started to make some noise, so I walked into her room and asked if she was ok. I said "did it feel like your bed was moving, honey?" she said, "uh, I don't know... " So I brought her back to my room and we were talking, and Shannen came out of the shower and said "why are my two girls awake at 5:30 in the morning?" and I said "because I think we just had an earthquake" and he said "ok, good, I'm not crazy." Me and Natalie went back to sleep, he went to work, and we woke up to find out we were NOT crazy... I'm sure you've heard all about it, but it was sorta crazy to wake up to that... not your normal Friday morning, for sure.

So we went to Sahm Park for school today. Landry and I joined in because it is GORGEOUS out today and he is a BIG fan of running around at parks. We played at the playground, went on a nature hike (Natalie was mad because she thought we were looking for treasure and when she didn't find any gold... she was quite disappointed!). We had snack, played some more, and came home to get ready for our NEXT adventure--The CHildren's Museum! We got there at 12:30 and the place was PACKED with school kids. We went to Playscape (NO school kids) and by the time we went upstairs to ride the carousel, the place was ours for the afternoon. We are now at the point where Natalie and Landry like the same areas, just not the same place at the same time--makes for some juggling on my part, but Natalie is a good sport.

No school for me today--G-CHS prom tonight at Circle Center downtown. We are scheduled to have softball tomorrow, but the rain is a comin' and that is GOOOOOD news for me!!! This is a JV tournament that should NOT be played, as the level of softball we "play" is not at all good.

Shannen is deciding when his last day will be. It started as next Friday, then moved to Wednesday, and we are currently at this SUnday... stay tuned. His start date for Citi Trends is Monday, April 28--the first day of the rest of our lives!

OK, gotta go make burgers to cook on the grill. Can't pass up cooking out when it is currently 76 degrees outside. gosh, we might even have popsicles for dessert! Have a great weekend.
