Picture Day

Today was make-up picture day at school. Since the first picture day was during our vacation, Allison got her official school picture taken today. Mom tried to sneak Matthew in to get his taken also. Fifteen minutes before we were to leave for Matthew's picture, he had a "meeting of the minds" with a piece of furniture that scratched (enough to bleed) and bruised his cheek. Fortunately, the picture people weren't ready when we arrived, so we were able to come back when we picked up Allison to get Matthew's picture. His cheek was no longer bleeding by then and some the reddened area wasn't as bad.
The ladies tried everything to get Matthew to smile. Finally, they told him to say "cheese". This is a standing gag in one of the "Elmo's World" dvds that he is addicted to. He smiled right away.
