Birthday parties....



The dust is finally clearing from the annual "Daniel girls' birthday party. As the girls are so close in age... I have one party for the two on them. It is Little Laura's birthday tomorrow.. a big three year old. She has been practicing the hold three fingers up all week.. very tricky for the first time!!

Today, we had all of the kids friends here for lunch and a huge play. About 20 kids and 12 adults... so lots of noise and food... the kids love parties and we have a huge back yard with many.. many things for them to play with.
I have two barbie, ballet, fairy obsessed girls and I really don't know how that could possibly happen... they have had tractors pushed on to them from babies... but I guess they are really girls at heart!!
Laura is often a surpise to us... firstly.. she was a surprise. A true testament that breastfeeding is not a reilable contraception. We planned to have our kids close together... but I reall ydidn't think that it would be quite that close. A surprise with her emotions. She will be the first one to come up to you and hug...tell you that she loves you 'this much" -holding her arms at full stretch... telling her big sister that she is her bestest friend. But... she also has a LOT of spirit. Some days I am really not sure what she runs on.... hardly sleeps... but just keeps going and going. She was a little bigger then Em born at 6lbs 13 ozs... with black hair that soon went blonde also. Em was only a baby herself with Laura was born (12 months 9 days between them) so life has always had Laura in it for Em. Laura caring little thing.. just this morning is was rubbing Jack's head in bed and telling her brother to be quite. But she is also the rebel.. climbing up on the carport at Mardie and Pardie's....
The little muppet wants a tutu for her birthday.. so I will post a photos once she has it on!
Anyway... I have been thinking more about my weight again... after weighing in at 65kg... I think I need to lose few more kg's... Is that wrong? Am I becoming obessed??? I can imagine what someone reading would think that wasn't at goal weight would say...I too had those thoughts when reading blogs of people that would just want to lose those extra kgs..... "she is heathly... what more does she want..."
It is such a warm fuzzy when you are losing weight... the positive feeling you walk away from weigh ins... clothes fitting better.. feeling like you have so much eneregy... but I am not totally happy with my body still... it's stil bumpy... thinking.. .thinking ... thinking...
My WW buddy Janita cracked those bloody 80's this week... I had a lump in my thoat when she yelled out that she had cracked it. She has been been hovering around it for a couple of months.. so it was a Huge milestone to cross...
Well... I best go and have a coffee with my husband. He is about to go and shoot some foxes... Sheep are about to lamb.
Hope that you are all having a great weekend!

Your girls sound beautiful! I imagine as they get older they will only become closer friends.

If you would feel comfortable with a few more kg gone, I say "go for it!". You will still be within your healthy weight range. And if you are happy to put in the effort to lose some more weight, then why not?!

Beautiful kids!! Hope the girls had a wonderful party. The wedding photo looks lovely too, you look gorgeous!!

Re. your weight, I agree with the other girls, go for it if you feel comfortable doing so!! After so much hard work and effort to get to this point, it does seem almost like unfinished business if you're still not completely satisfied with the end result :-)

I agree with the others - if you are not happy with how you look and are still within the recommended weight range - lose those few extra kilos. My goal is 67 - but I would prefer to be around 60kgs. This is not an all consuming number for me - I went down to 63 moved up again to 65 and am not starting to move down again - I feel much happier a few kilos under goal plus if I go up a little for whatever reason it isn't as though I have to pay again at WW - so long as I am maintaining - I am happy.
Hope this helps - have a great week !

Yaaaay for Janita cracking the 80's. Well done to you.

And to you for coping with that many children and adults and birthdays and weddings and everything you fit into your life. I need to go and have a rest after reading about it LOL.

You look sensational and only you know your body. For some people 65 would be too light but for others it might the be right weight. It depends on your frame, on lots of things. As long as you are still eating healthily, having fun, living life, then it should be OK. Just be careful not to start skipping meals or doing things that will cause your body harm.

Hope you have a great day :D

I love reading about your kids and your girls looks so, so cute! Now, is Janita the one who you made that 80s CD for? (or have I mistaken that little piece of info for someone else's blog???) If I'm right, how did she react to the CD?! Again, I agree with everyone else - if it feels right to lose a few more kgs, then do it, but it is healthily :) Have a great week Kirsty x
