Quiet Book

Here are some pictures of Alex's Christmas present.  Alex is indifferent to it but Andrew loves playing with it.  Go figure :)

The shapes are attached to ribbon and can be lifted off

The football slides along the string into the goal, sliding beads for counting

tic tac toe

flaps that lift and have sports equipment under them, a swimmer that moves up and down the lane with lane lines on the sides

a net with a basketball and the square is basketball textured.  I had one page left and was out of ideas/time

I hope I don't have any more "great ideas" for a while.  This one was waaaay too time consuming!

Millions of Peaches

I searched high and low for peaches this year (that weren't $45 per box).  I finally found some and of course it ended up that we had 50 lbs of peaches to take care of three days after having a baby.  Luckily they needed to ripen a little before they were ready to be processed so that bought us a little time.

 Hurray for counter space!

Meanwhile, the two munchkins slept.  Not next to each other though, I was just curious to compare their size.

The fruit of our labor.  I think we ended up with about 40 quart sized freezer bags full of peaches!  They look kind of lonely hanging out in our new deep freeze by themselves, we need to go kill a cow or something :)
