Look at your own risk!

I have been spending the last few days scanning all of our old non-digital photos onto the computer and it has been really depressing to see how awful most of them are!!! Oh my gosh. I have always known I am not very photogenic and not very fashionable either but I never thought I looked THAT bad! Holy cow that's embarrassing. I came across this picture of when I was first pregnant with Hannah....I look SO frumpy! Not much I could do about my Humpty-Dumpty pants (except buy a more fashionable pair of maternity jeans I guess), but my shirt was WAY too short (but who can tell when you're pregnant? Everything looks long enough from the top view!) I like to think that if we had had a digital camera and I saw this picture as soon as it was taken, the picture and the shirt would have been gone in that instant!! And the shirt would have been replaced with one long enough to cover up the Fred Mertz look from the pants. So anyway, I would like to formally apologize to anyone who ever had to see me looking like this on a regular basis, and thank all of you wonderful people for still being my friends!!!!

Ok I cannot believe I am going to share this picture with anyone -- everyone! -- it should totally be destroyed. (The picture is crooked because I had too much scanning to do to care particularly that they weren't all perfectly straight. But obviously that's the least of this picture's problems!!!)

More of the same...

I promise this is not going to be the only topic of this blog for the rest of my life, I just need to get it out of my system! I guess the reason I can't think of anything else to say is because this IS my life...all day, every day...Joshua spelling random words out, and The Cosby Show.

Joshie likes to copy words and phrases he finds in random places around the house. I don't have pictures of all of them, but in addition to this Disney one, we've also recently come across such things as "White-Rogers" (the brand name on our thermostat...minus the hyphen of course) and "Guthy-Renker" (the company that produced my Pilates videos, again minus the hyphen).

Obviously since his whole life revolves around the Cosby show right now, he likes to write out things pertaining to that topic...above is his very own phonetic spelling of "Vanessa"...pretty good for a 3-year-old!!!! He's a genius :)
And he has officially changed his name to "Cosby" and has to remind us every day that his name is NOT Joshua, it is Cosby (well, one day it was Mary Ann, from Alice in Wonderland...)

...and unfortunately I did not get a picture of this one, and it felt like cheating to redo it myself, but I came across a word in the living room that said "INOCOSBY"......"I know Cosby!" His reaction when I read it out was so cute...giddy and a little embarrassed, like he simply could NOT resist any longer the temptation to spell out his deepest fantasy, and was SO excited to see it there but, at the same time, embarrassed to have it there in the open for someone else to see. He cracks me up.

...and before I forget, he said the funniest Cosby quote the other day. I was coming down the stairs and heard him say, directed at Seth, "Why don't YOU...get a JOB...and get outta my house!"

Someone save me, this one's starting already!!!!!
