Fun with the scanner

This is what happens when you let the three year old help you scan stuff...



I know, it's a creepy ass image, isn't it? Well, if you ever wanted to know how to make your kids look like The Undead, now you know. Stick their little heads in the scanner.



Then he figured out that you could put just about anything you wanted to in the scanner and a picture of it would pop up on mommy's computer. So we started with the bink.....



And moved on to a hand......



Next came a toy truck he found under my bed.....



And then another toy truck he found under my desk....He's laughing hysterically by this time. Running back and forth from his room to mine with new treasures to scan...



Here we have his "fix it" goggles....



And a sad lonely little Lincoln Log. ( I love that they still make those.)



Followed quickly by this poor squished stormtrooper....



Then the shoes. These were a gift from Judy, a dear friend in New York. My son wears these shoes EVERYWHERE we go. He loves them. They have zippers on the sides and he can put them on and take them off himself. I printed this one out for him. He took the picture to bed with him tonight.

And last but not least we have.....



Okay, if you can figure out what this is you're a damn good guesser and will be hearalded as "The Best Guesser of All Time". I know what it is. The three year old knows what it is. My husband looked at this picture and said, "What the fuck is that?"

Now you know what my family does for fun on a Sunday night.

The Trouble with New Readers........

We have a new reader!! Normally I'd just drop a quick "Hey there! How are ya!" in the comments...but this reader and I have something special in common. We both dig James T. Kirk. Some of you may already know Gunfighter, everyone else, give him a big "Hey there! How are ya?"

I found this book at my local thrift store. Can you believe it? I love the local thrift store. So many cool things, just waiting to be discovered.



"The Trouble With Tribbles" is probably one of the most well known Star Trek episodes. They even revisited it during Star Trek" Deep Space Nine. Ahh....how they love to time travel.



Here we see James T. Kirk in all his glory. You know we love him.



Does anyone else notice something missing from these Kligons? Worf would later say, "It is a very embarassing part of Kligon history. We do not discuss it." (or something along those lines...) when Jadzia questions him about it in the DS9 revisit. Yes..I AM that big a geek. Now hush....



And...as always, Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise save the day. Was there ever any doubt?

This book was a great find and I hope you've enjoyed this very special Welcome!!!!
