Guess What?

Can you guess what we were doing yesterday?











Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. 2 more days until New Baby Thompson!!!

Duct Tape

These gifts are wrapped in paper bags with duct tape ribbon and bows. I started this post thinking I would only blog about the bows. However, that changed when I was looking for a picture to illustrate the many colors duct tape actually comes in. It's over 30 and you can even buy glow in the dark.

Anyway, that is where this post took a turn. While looking for the perfect picture, I kept running into photos of real people who actually used duct tape to create Prom dresses and tuxedos. So naturally, I had to bring them to you. The whole thing is wrong on so many levels! Who even has the time?

More Photoshop Fun

I love photo friendly time wasters and today I found another one. FaceinHole has a ton of pictures to choose from and many of them are celebrities or movie posters. You can turn your creation into a gift too. This site will make your new picture into a t-shirt for you for $20. How fun! These are some I did quickly today.




This is my favorite!

Remember This?

Back in October you may remember I wrote about an ornament exchange I was taking part in. I finally sent out my ornament last week to Illinois. I hope the intended recipient got it and truly likes it! I also just received one yesterday. It came from a woman who lives in Mississippi and the actual ornament is from St. Thomas.

This is the one I sent. I used an old light bulb for the body, painted it white and added the rest with my glue gun. I love making these and had a lot of fun doing it for someone I have only 'met' through a blog!

This is the one I received - very cute!

34 shopping days until Christmas! 11 days until New Baby Thompson!!!!!

Turkeys

As Thanksgiving is a week and a half away we have been learning a little about it during our school day. For an art project I had the boys make their very own turkeys. They traced their hands on brown construction paper, cut it out and then covered them in glue and feathers. Then we added orange pipe cleaners for legs. They had a great time and only left a minimal amount of glued feathers on my table! They look thrilled to be getting their picture taken, don't they?

I also had them put magnets on the back so we could hang them on the fridge. Here is the finished product up on my fridge!

Photo Shoot

With every pregnancy Adam has asked me to go and get pictures taken. I hate to have my picture taken - especially when I am not feeling so great about myself. So, I have always told him no because I'm just not comfortable with it. Well, I had a change of heart - I think because this pregnancy was not planned by us and I really felt like I had been given another chance to to something special for my husband. Anyway, I hauled the boys out with me and we had some pictures taken. Here are two of them.

18 days

We scheduled a date for induction at my doctor appointment yesterday. December 2nd I will go in to have this baby! That leaves me with only 18 days left to get everything done. I have never gone any earlier than 5 days and the 2nd is a week before my due date, so I look to stay put until that day. But who knows, maybe all the Thanksgiving day travel will put me into labor a little earlier.
