Easter Knit

4.8.10

I found a pattern for a kid's jacket that is knit sideways and thought it looked pretty cool. So I made one for Tynan out of a self-striping yarn. I wanted to put him in his white button-up shirt and the jacket and take Easter photos. He decided he didn't want to wear either thing, and he didn't want no pictures niether. Neener neener!

So then, a couple of days after we got home, Tynan decided he would finally put on his jacket. I still wanted to take a picture, so I left his Green Bay shirt on. (Who knows what would happen if I tried to change his shirt while he was in picture mode.) He also has an enourmous bruise on his left check. He fell and hit his cheek against something and gave it to himself. Poor kid!

So here is my poor battered boy for his easter portrait: sitting on our old (read: kinda dirty) chair, wearing a knit pastel jacket over super studly sports team merchandise. Silly boy!

Easter Visit

4.2.10-4.5.10

Tynan and I went to visit the grandparents for Easter. Shawn had to come later because of work. I was the lonely parent for a couple of days during a trip with inconsistent nap times and lots of new faces. I'm still recovering a week later! This first picture is Tynan with Grandma Wendy after his bath. He was afraid of the bathtub at first, but after we gave him the measuring cup to play with we had a hard time getting him out.

Here is Tynan eating his Easter candy. He had a bit of trouble with his mini candy bars so I had to tough it up and help him eat them. He was pretty grateful for the assistance too.

We went to Easter breakfast at Grandpa Eric's sister's house. (What does that make her to Tynan? Great Aunt Jone? What is a great aunt, exactly?) Here is Tynan playing airplane with Aunt Paige. He had a lot of fun at Jone's house cause there was so much stuff he could get into!

Later, Aunt Paige hid a bunch of eggs for Tynan to find. It is very difficult trying to get a 21-month-old to look for or pick up Easter eggs! He gets distracted pretty easily. He also kept throwing the eggs into the basket after he grabbed them. This means that we had to make a bunch of deviled eggs as soon as we got inside.

The next day, Tynan was able to play with all of his cousins. Grandma Doreen wanted a picture of all of her grandkids together, so we lined them up on a couch and had at it with two cameras. You can see how well that went over with Tynan. . .

I think this might be the best picture I got, and it's not really that great. Jaylee and Camden are looking at Grandma Doreen's camera, Tynan looks like he'd rather be getting his temperature taken with a rectal thermometer, and Gavin looks none too happy that we pulled him from his handheld game system. Oh, the joys of child rearing. . . ;-)
