Leaves Are Falling From The Sky
I’m very impressed that it only took 9 guesses to figure out what our son drew. Assertagirl won! It was leaves falling down from the sky as we went on a walk in the wood a few weekends ago.
Very good answers though: helium balloons, baseball caps, floating lollipops, dandelions, more suckers, aliens flying to the mother ship, balls in the air, raindrops, little blurbs of happiness, people, sperm, clouds or rays of sunshine, litter of children, snot, & love.
So Assertagirl be looking for some Starbucks in your mail soon. Thanks for participating!

I Can Only Imagine
My husband and I both pondered this picture that our 5 year old drew over Thanksgiving. His artistic details and drawings are definitely improving, but this one had us puzzled. Honestly, doesn’t it look like sperm?

He explained it to us in a long drawn out ramble, but it’s nothing like we had imagined.
I’m interested in your guesses. The first person to guess correctly (leave a comment about what the circles with the line attached are) wins a $10 Starbucks gift card. I’ll leave it open until someone guesses correctly and I’ll let you know when you get it right.
Good luck!

Kodak Brillance Shines Through In Printer
I was asked to put the Kodak EasyShare 5300 All-In-One Printer to the test by Props & Pans. Of course I gladly agreed and now you can have the same experience I did. Kodak is graciously giving one lucky reader this same printer! To find out how head over to Props & Pans.
When asked if I would give a review on a Kodak printer, I was ecstatic because we have so many digital pictures that I haven’t printed simply because I’m too lazy to put them on a disk and head to the store. I didn’t expect such a massive machine to arrive that would offer to print, copy or scan anything my little heart I desired.
The Kodak EasyShare 5300 does all that and more. I love when products combine several tasks into one item and eliminate the need for several appliances to sit out on the desk or table. Although this printer is a little larger than I imagined, the quality of work makes up for the size.
I have to say that the pictures it printed were of high quality and the sharpness was terrific. Kodak is known for it’s brilliant colors and they’ve continued that tradition with this printer. It’s extremely user-friendly and worked well with both our digital camera and computer.
My biggest concern was the expense of buying refill ink cartridges. We had a photo printer several years ago that I finally gave up on because the refills were more expensive than having pictures printed. Much to my surprise Kodak offers black refill cartridges for under $10 and color cartridges for under $15. WOW! That is impressive and very affordable.
The scanner is great for pictures and images, as well as the copier. It’s only been up and running in our home for a week and I’ve already used the copier several times. The only way you could improve this product is to add “fax machine” to it’s list. It retails for just under $200 and is truly something every household could use.
