The Boy, The Girl and The Baby!

I can't remember how long after The Boy was born he got that nickname.  The Husband is a fan of the irreverant humour of Homer Simpson who mostly refers to Bart as "The Boy".  It was not long anyway and by the time The Girl was born 2 years later that was often how we talked about him.  Rarely do we call him that though.  You see The Boy has an Asperger's diagnosis and is often baffled by humour.
So then we had The Boy and The Girl and all was good......or should I say exhausting!  Just over 2 and half years after The Girl's arrival along came The Baby....another girl.  This now meant we had our own version of The Simpsons, an oldest boy and then 2 girls just like Bart, Lisa and Maggie!  The only trouble is that where Maggie Simpson has remained a baby our Baby seems to have grown up fast and is now 5 and a half.  But, for the purposes of this blog they will remain The Boy, The Girl and The Baby.......who am I kidding.....they will always be that to me!

The first post.....

So this is blogging.  I have been putting this off for a long time now but finally today I bowed to pressure and decided to take the plunge and set up this account.  I only know one person that will read this....you know who you are!  But I might be brave and let other people know it exists eventually! 
So why have I taken the plunge?  Well, the creative me thought it would be fun to set up the template and choose the photos and fonts and colours....and it was!  It is much like scrapbooking. Choosing a layout and colours and positioning photos...actually VERY like scrapbooking where the idea is that you record events in your life using photos and journalling.....yes the more I think about this the more it seems to me that blogging is just a modern form of scrapbooking. It is getting more appealling already! 
So what sort of posts will I write?  I think there will be 3 main types.  The Parent posts, where I will regale you with amusing (and not so amusing) anecdotes of my muddling through the everyday torture that is bringing up 3 not quite ordinary children.  The Crafty posts, where I might just bore you with some of my creations and then the Geeky posts where I may go on about spaceships or other science stuff.
Here we go then....I am going to press PUBLISH POST now and enter the world of blogging.....!
