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.

Today

Yesterday I went down to Hamilton area to take pictures of a sweet little newborn. I did his mom's maternity session a month or two ago and he made his appearance two weeks ago today.
Thankfully the sun decided to show it's face yesterday, it's been so rainy and dark here lately!!
(click on the Lily Pond button on the side if you want to see the little guy)

I got a chance to meet some very cool girls last night as well, I hope I'll be able to get to know them a bit more.

Today I am working on edits and planning out another quiet book. I haven't quite finished the other two yet, getting very close and then I will post pictures again, I am pretty happy with them so far. But after mocking me a bit for taking all day to finish one page, my husband says, hey, you should make one with all Bible stories! Ha! make fun of me then ask me to do another one?! Ok, sure. So I'm working on what stories will go in and all that. I am actually drawing up a template this time, i didn't do any patterns with the other two but with this one I am, so i will post that as well as pictures when I am finished.

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)
