Target parking lot; 7pm

It was a really nice day today!!! We were able to leave our sweatshirts at home while we ran errands.

TV; 8pm

Don't be fooled. This picture was completely staged.

trying hard; 8pm

There is a hint of a smile here.

Dude; 4pm

Dude. Hayden came over to play today, dude. Dude.

my bedroom; 9pm

I haven't been feeling well so I spent most of the day in bed. I didn't forget to take a picture but was really too icky to worry about it. At bedtime he brought me the camera so I wouldn't forget. He's such a good boy. He still didn't smile, though.

cheesin'; 930pm

I cropped out the PS3 and most of the scuffed up wall behind him. He was posing with the console, though. What a nerd.

Drawing; 7pm

We should call him "Simon"...because he likes to do some draw-rings!

concentrating?; 8pm

He gets it from his mom.

Dinner...again; 630pm

Mattias CAN'T possibly be the only person that twists himself up like a pretzel while he eats.....could he?

Mad Libs; 8pm

Mattias didn't get dressed at all today. It was a good day.

taking a walk; 2pm

It was nice to be outside!!! Mattias made a solid attempt to block the shot but I got him.

West Coast Game Park; 3ish pm

Bandon Oregon has the coolest walk through wildlife park. We all had so much fun. Mattias fell in love with this ringtail lemur immediately.

footrest; 930pm

He wasn't thrilled that his dad's foot was on him but he was loving the hollow Easter bunny treat he got.

yum yum; 7pm

This would be a fairly familiar photo of Mattias if it weren't for his half naked brother in the background.

birthday cake; 8pm

Yesterday was his brother's birthday. Zakk spent the night with their cousin, though, so we didn't serve the birthday cake until tonight. It is delicious!

New Game; 930pm

Checking out the new game he got. The one that is supposed to keep him from whining about boredom during the next week and a half that we call "Spring Break".

Bedtime; 9pm

His bedding was fresh cleaned (new blanket fuzz all over his sheet) I'm just happy his feet are clean!

Hayden's house; 4pm

Mattias went to play with his good buddy, Hayden, after school. He really likes Hayden. :)

630ish; dinner and a movie

FINALLY!! A truly good, laughing, smile. The recipe for this success? Watching Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. If you haven't seen this movie you should. It's ridiculous and stupid and BEYOND funny. On a side note...Did you see the string of pizza cheese dangling from his chin? He had no idea.

Roller Derby!!!; 7:30pm

Leaving the Roller Derby to get some dinner. Mattias AND his dad are trying not to smile at the camera.

coming home; 8pm

Mattias went with me to drop his older brother off at a school dance. He allowed a photo. :)

dessert; 8pm

mmmmm Ice creamy creamy cake!!

Games; 830 (again)

Oh, Mattias. I love you.

too bright; 9pm

any excuse he can think of. Tonight it was "too bright" when I took the photo. He had only been in bed for 2 minutes.

Sour face; 6pm

I caught him from the side. He was trying to hide his "sour lemons" expression. I win again.

errands; 4pm

<3

I forgot; 1015pm

I did so good...and the last few nights I've forgotten to get a photo until LATE. Tonight...Michael took the photo since I dropped the ball.

Games; 830

Rapidly became the generic picture for this blog. It's the easiest picture I can get of Mattias, though.

Reading; 9pm

I love it when I catch him reading. He loves to read. He just pretends that he doesn't.

Hanging out; 830pm

Dad and Zakk went to the store so Mattias and I were hanging out. I really tried to get him to do the Beavis and Butthead "Cornholio" pose but although he was amused he wasn't really going for it. Maybe another day. :)

bed; 1030pm

Not only am I glad that I didn't actually forget to take a photo I REALLY am glad I did another bedtime shot. I left the flash off this time. He's so cute.
