the never ending project....DONE!!!

Way back sometime last fall, I ran into a friend at Walmart who was telling me that she was going to make a quiet book for her son. I loved the idea and quickly jumped on board with her and we decided we would do it together. We looked on pinterest and got lots of ideas, and then got together and decided on which pages we wanted to do. We decided that we wanted the pages to be really fun, which in all reality turned out to be the most complicated and thickest pages. So needless to say, this turned into what seemed like an never ending project. We started about the middle of November, in hopes of having them finished and give them to the boys for Christmas. Well, Christmas came and went and so we changed our time to finish to Valentine's Day, then Easter, and that didn't happen either. But I decided it had to be done before school got out or it might be one of those projects that gets pushed to be back burner and forgotten. So I finally finished a few days ago! YAY! I am so glad to be done! And a new goal I have for myself.......never, never, EVER make another quiet book! Here is the finished product.



See how ridiculously think it turned out to be?! Crazy!!



And because each page is seriously like a mini masterpiece, yes, I took pictures of all of them! I love the Armor of God page because each piece unsnaps and you can dress the little soldier.



The airport page is pretty fun because not only can you fly the helicopter and little airplane, but the little blue truck has luggage in it that you "drive" over to the big plane and load it up.



Treasure Map page and shapes page.



I'm really in love with how cute the treasure map turned out. And I love the little lock and key that keeps my boy busy.



The Road page is fun too and has little cars to drive all around the neighborhood.



Tool box page. My little man loves tools. And yes, there are more inside the tool box.



This page was a much better idea in theory than in reality. If I had to do it over again, I would probably skip this page or at least use lighter beads. These sports beads are so cute, but too heavy.



Love the beach page.....



......cuz you can build a sand castle!!!



And finally the fishing page, which the kids LOVE!!



The first Sunday we took this to church for John David to play with he was SOOOO LOUD! Hahaha! Help! My quiet book is broken!!!
