hmm...I think I'll start a blog...

So...I decided to start a blog. It was a total spur of the moment decision...well no, that's not exactly true. I've been putting up little quotes from my son on facebook for ages and people really seem to love it, but there's just so much more funny stuff in my life and a facebook status update just doesn't work for all of it. So I've been looking for another way to have some fun with my family online and I figured I'd try a blog. So today I just did it. I warn you...I have NO idea what I'm doing so bear with me!

Ever since my sisters and I were little kids, our main form of humour has been re-enactments of hilarious things other people say and do. This is essentially what I've done on facebook...repeat conversations between myself and my son...and it seems to work. So that's what I plan to do here for the most part. Just repeat things that people in my life say and do that strikes me funny. These little tid bits are infinitely funnier if you know the people involved, and I'm sure many of you do, but for the benefit of those who don't, let me introduce to you the main characters in my life:

Me: I'm a working mom (well, on mat leave right now but soon to return to work), married to Mark who is the love of my life. I'm 34 years old, the oldest of 5 girls.

Mark: My darling husband...he's a self confessed computer nerd, and everyone who knows him knows that he is super funny!

Gavin: My 3 year old son. He's a little turkey...an adorable kid, full of fun and humour. He is the source of most of the funny moments in this house. His 2 best buddies are Jay and Carter (his cousin).

Summer: My 8 month old daughter. She can't talk yet but she's funny in her own way.

Zoe: My sister and mother to Carter and Farrah (who will also be featured from time to time). Zoe's hilarious...similar sense of humour to me.

Tiffany: Another sister. She's a teacher and while funny, she can also be quite dry (which is, in itself, quite funny at times)

Mom: My mother...I don't even know where to begin with her. EVERY SINGLE THING she says is funny. She is an old hippie who always comes across as if she's stoned off her ass, even when she's not. She says very random, strange things. I could make fun of her all day long. I warned her that I was going to do this and she is very anxious about it. She's very suspicious of the internet in general (when you read that last sentence, pronounce it like "in -ter- net", like you're just learning thsi starnge new word and that's how she says it...LOL!)

Tasha: Gavin and Summer's daycare provider. Gavin sometimes says things to her and about her that bear repeating.

Anyhow, I'm just going to write about stuff I think is funny and I hope you all think it's funny too....
