Portraits and Potatoes

Today we are getting a family portrait taken. We are getting 5 poses done one of the whole family, one of Max and I, one of Mom and Dad, one of the three kids, and I am unsure what the last pose will be. I mean doesn't it figureI have been off for an entire month and today I get sick. The nasal congestion, sore throat, sneezing and coughing that I have been trying to avoid. Not just for the sake of the portrait but because I am returning to school on Monday for my microbiology class.

So all day we have been shopping because we cannot match up outfits between the six of us; I have just felt achy and horrible. Now that it is down to 1 and 1/2 hours before our picture I feel horrible. not to mention look horrible. I guess that we will see how it all goes. Maybe a little makeup will make me look better than I feel lol.

On a side note, Max now eats mashed potatoes. I know that is a severely sidetracked subject, but this kid has never liked anything with potatoes besides French fries. I remember when I first tried him on potatoes he was just an infant trying the different foods. So the first time that I tried it he ate two bites then vomited his whole dinner. Fun times. I have tried potatoes every way imaginable since that first fiasco to no avail. Finally he ate some a few nights ago, much to my surprise. I was so excited. Not that it is a big deal that he doesn't eat potatoes, but it limits his dinner options, and seeing as he is already picky the more options available the better off we are. Here are some pictures of my big boy eating his potatoes HOORAY.
