Back To School: Part 2
Well, CC gives her preschool "Two thumbs up!" Mostly because they have pets in her classroom. (If you count a tarantula, frog, fish, turtle, two cockroaches, and two Walking Stick bugs as pets.) Claire was over the moon about it. I really liked her teacher, mostly because she told me how incredibly bright CC is. Actually she said she has had a few Claire's through the years and all of them were clever. Interesting, maybe a study should be done. Can your name make you smart? Has this been my problem all along? Thanks Mom and Dad!
In other news, O seems to be adjusting to first grade. We met his teacher and she was very nice. He is meeting friends and getting the hang of things. He even bought his first school lunch today. Oh yeah, he is also "in love." Great. We have been invaded by sugar ants, totally brutal. We tried our best to fend them off but we were no match for their numbers. A professional will be here tomorrow to help us win the battle. We felt our first SoCal earthquake.
Pretty exciting. It was a rumble, and a roll, about 5 seconds. Ofcourse we panicked. I yelled "Get to the bathroom!" at the same time Bill yelled, "Get outside!" Neither kid moved. I looked it up on the computer, it was a 4.7 in Santa Ana. No one we talked to through the course of the day felt a thing. The good news is I printed a copy of what you are supposed to do, the bad news is we managed to really freak CC out about earthquakes, whoops.

Totally awesome! Love it. We are all getting excited to see you guys soon. Miss you!
So, I think the bathroom is what you are supposed to do, right? 4.7 was probably nothing to the natives. That sounded funny. I know when we moved to Puyallup, a kid at Taylor's school told him that Mt. Rainier was going to blow up and kill everyone. For the next week he cried himself to sleep. I finally had to tell him that we live on South Hill, and we will be fine- it is the people that live in the valley that will be covered with 20 feet of mud flows. Then he was fine with it. I felt as though I could justify that answer with his relief!
