I would guess both sow-thistles are Smooth; otherwise I agree with the id's.
If you like a challenge, try to identify the whitlowgrass to microspecies a bit later in the year!
 
I might believe the prickly sowthistle, but not without seeing the leaf-bases.
I'd guess the willowherb is one of the smaller species.
