Pawn takes White Queen - twice!

Both of these games were played against the same person - one of my dearest rivals on the site. She and I both have a competitive streak, and ever since I once declared her my "nemesis" I've found that I invest an extra attentiveness to our games. She's particularily deadly with her Queen, I've found, and absolutely dominates the board with swift Queen maneuvers if you let her.
I'm proud of the following two games (which were played in succession) because in both I was able to capture her Queen with one of my pawns! - which has to be something of a rarity.
I do wish that these games could be displayed from "my" side of the board, but oh well (UPDATE: I figured out how). Oh, and you'll notice that in both instances the Queen capture was made possible by a dubious King move. Enjoy!
