UW 42 ---> Idaho 23

Gwen and I went to the Husky vs. Vandal game today on a beautifully sunny afternoon. Temperatures hit 85 degrees, and we both got a little sun. We had a blast though. The day started with some face painting. I painted Gwen, and she painted me. The biggest highlight of the night was that the Huskies finally won. After 15 straight losses (tied for a Pac 10 record achieved on two different occasions by Oregon State University) the Huskies finally pulled out a big W. We were so proud of them. Hope you enjoy the rest of the pictures.

Sleepy Kids

Just for the record, Maddy is the only one of our kids who has fallen asleep with unchewed food in their mouth. That means that somewhere in between sticking that cracker in her mouth and actually taking the first bit, she hit the sack. Here is some video of the entire back seat. All three girls were out cold when we went to the grocery store, so I went in to get them by myself.

Lana's in the Mix

After Lana performed a belly-to-back suplex on Emma, she tagged Maddy, and this is what happened next...that's what you get when you're the youngest...you might be able to get the best of one of the siblings, but there's always more to get you back. If you're really curious as to why there is no adult intervention at this point, then you would probably like to know that this is one of Lana's favorite games. She always gets a kick out of being smashed by either of her sisters, and she will usually sneak in a cheap hair pull, or a wet kiss. So she can take it, but she can dish it too!!! The girls also enjoy doing Girly things like painting toenails and doing each other's hair.
By the way, Gwen is also included in the 'girls'. Here Gwen is showing Maddy the ropes of efficient hair styling, and Lana is being the patient patient.

Goin Swimmin With the Fish

The Girls and I took a trip to the Seattle Aquarium last week. We went to a well child check-up for all three girls (all of whom received at least one shot) and scored to free adult passes. So we invited a couple of friends. This is a good shot of Emma and Maddy entranced by the fish in the tank. If you look carefully, you can see Madison's reflection on the glass. She loved the fish. This was also Lana's first time at the Aquarium. She was begging us to come back again.Emma also thought that the killer whale fin was pretty fun. I would have jumped on it too...
