After School; 315pm

Rushing out of school on a Monday afternoon!! :) One entire month done successfully on this blog....and I almost forgot to post this picture. Sheesh.

Walking to Grandpa's; 3pm

What a beautiful day today! Thankfully we were able to spend a bit of time in the sun. It's always been nice being able to walk to my dad's house. The boys love seeing Grandpa.

Couch Time; 630pm

After dinner coma. Watching TV.

Posing; 6pm

He set this one up. After a few awkward attempts at taking his own photo he recruited me to get the shot.

Relaxing; 6ish

Just laying on the couch, relaxing, with a book. This makes me feel good.

wrestling; 7pm

He was having fun until Zakk put him up on his shoulders. It scared him.

after shower; 8pm

squeeky clean...still damp, even.

Prepping for homework; 330pm

Looking for a pencil.

Dinner and a movie; 6:30

Spaghetti and Despicable Me. What a nice night.

fighting; 10pm

I kinda liked this blurry picture. He obviously was trying to stop me from getting a good picture.

@ home; 7:30pm

One of the more common ways to find Mattias. In front of the video game.

Assassin's Creed; 6pm

After last nights meltdown I thought it would be in everyone's best interest if I got a picture of him when he wasn't paying attention. Video games can be a mom's friend.

Bedtime; 9pm

After a half dozen failed pictures I had to settle for the one of him crying into his pillow. He was NOT going to let me take a photo tonight.

Homework; 3pm

Doing math homework after school...and still hiding from the camera. Thank you to my husband for getting this picture. :)

hiding; 6pm

He thought I couldn't see him. I love his smile.

Computer time; 8pm

8 years old and already pretty darned good at ignoring his mom.

Playin'; 6pm

His brother was giving him a nerf sword ass whoopin'.

Dinner

reclining; 7ish

He kept flashing the peppermint so I told him that I was gonna say it was a red and white striped booger. It made him do this little half smile. What a weirdo.

Last possible minute; 9pm

I almost forgot to take a photo! I love this one because although he's partially hidden by his blanket you can see how amazing his smile is!

watching tv; 6pm

I cropped to get this one. He was in an extremely non cooperative mood. I win.

Bedtime; 9pm

He REALLY didn't want his photo taken today. I loved the way the pillow made a face for him, though, so I let it pass.

Sleeping; after midnight

I'd been wanting to get a sleeping photo

Front yard; 9am

Believe it or not...this "face" was intentional. He was attempting to be goofy.

On the way to school; 8:30 am

He does NOT want his photo taken. He put up with this blog for a full week. Can't wait to see where it goes from here!

January 6th, 2011. Pouting; 8pm

My internet was down last night...this photo was taken on Thursday the 6th. :) Mattias was writhing on the floor. Trying to hide from the camera

Bedtime; 9pm

He puts up with his mom...

@ home; 7:30pm

Showing off his "Butt Picker" cramp.

By the front door; 8:30am

He didn't mind at all that he was about to go to school after the 2 week winter break. He didn't want me to take his picture, though. So...this is what I got.

at home, 7:55pm

Yep. That's my boy.

Playing the computer; 8pm-ish

The birth of the blog. I couldn't have asked for a better expression for the "New Year" picture.
