Hello, Tired Eyes

11-04-2012

I love this picture of my girl.  Her eyes betray her; she was so tired on this afternoon.  But we were outside and my animal loving girl had found a caterpillar.  So even though her eyes look tired, she also looks peaceful and happy and relaxed.  And I love when she is just having fun being 4, even a tired four.

"You're annoying me and I'm ignoring you!"

We try to teach our kids to express how they're feeling instead of just whining, storming off, etc.  So Jason and I couldn't stop laughing when Jake turned to Payton in the backseat of the car and emphatically told her this yesterday.  And just for the record, she deserved it and he kept his promise.

Jake, unimpressed

Sounders Game

Jason got great seats to the Sounders game at work, so he and Jake went.  It poured!!  Not like typical Seattle drizzle-type rain.  Like monsoon, coming down in waves type of rain.  The fans were crazy as always and it was still a packed stadium even with the weather.  Jake loved it!  In fact, he reminded me yesterday that the season starts today and he wants to go again.
