more quiet book pages

Here are a few more pages for the kids quiet books. The first one is from Aurora's book and the other two are from Gideon's. Their books are almost done. I think there is only 1 page left in each that needs finishing touches!! wahoo!

 This page has 6 finger puppets, 3 for each page, they go in the blue pockets

The cars on this page move and the gas nozzle is movable as well.

what we've been up to...

A has been enjoying her new wall chalkboard, she's learning how to draw snakes and people (at least she is trying, the ones there are ones i did, she keeps making me do them for her)

 These guys are for something we are making or A's 3rd birthday party, the project isn't done yet but i like them so far.

 These are not done yet either (obviously) but here they are so far, nursery art. I have to add outlines, and embellishments still.

 Here are quiet books I've been working on for the kids. Like everything else in this post, they are not done yet, this is what I have so far...
Covers

 A gardening page in A's book...

 A driving page in G's (not finished have to decide what else to add to this page)

 A dress up page in A's ha ha. I think the girl is pretty crazy looking but oh well. A likes her. It's hard to tell in the picture but the mirror is from an old CD so it actually reflects.

That's just a bit of what we've been up to lately besides feeding G every few hours and changing his diapers and washing them. I'm using cloth diapers this time. I planned to do that with A but chickened out in the end. This time I discovered Snappies though and they are making my life wonderful!!! Diaper pins are what freaked me out most last time (I have mostly prefolds and  I was worried about poking her)

Fall Decorations

I love Fall, it's my favorite season. I feel like I've missed so much of it this year because of healing and having a newborn. I guess it has also been pretty rainy so far too though. But today was beautiful and sunny so we were enjoying being outside. 

 My mom has her deck decorated so cute I just had to share it.

finger puppets

The felt monster finger puppets we've made. Monsters are so fun because you can make them look crazy and use different sized eyes and it's all just part of their "charm".
A really likes these guys. She's having a monster birthday party this year and these guys will be part of it.

Felt Leaves

I saw some felt leaves on Etsy (this shop) that were just way too cool. I just love felt and the combination of felt and craft wire was way too cute for me to not try some of my own. I think I made at least 9 or 10 of them. I'm not sure yet what I am going to do with them. They are cool just one a table or could be made into a wreath or garland or anything really.
