and then there was one...


Little Laura this morning.. first day of kinder!

Anyone who has yet to have their children and ponder how much 'gap' between each one, can I give you my opinion....



This may be bias, but my children are close together (5, 4 & 3) 27 months from first birth to last and it totally works for me!



My little Laura started kinder today... My little black headed baby that just 'went with the flow' started her first little independent world.



With Emilie at kinder last year, it is such a natural progression for Laura to start. No nerves, just pure excitement with what she is going to make and who is she going to play with.



She even went to kinder on the bus! Such a big girl!

The girls getting on the bus! (Jack also goes with for the first time... don't think there was any need with laura, but it made us happier)



So.. it is just me and Hugh at home. Just the two of us! Bizarre.



Three years of kinder in a row, three years of starting school in a row... brilliant!!! It just goes with the flow and the kids just wait their turn!


Emilie's arm is ok. She seems to manage very well with the arm in the cast. She is even carrying her backpack on her back! Laura had a great day of kinder as well... the excitement and 12 month build up did not disappoint her!

So, this mean a routine for me again. Back to regular gym visits (instead of getting there when I can) and regular studying tiems again. I passed by last exam and received in the post today my her muscle and skeleton system charts... very exciting!

Hope all are well and getting heaps of exercise in now things are back to normal!

Awww so cute!! Kids are so adaptable, they take change so well. I think it works well having kids close together as well, worked well for me and my sister!

Awww how cute! that bag is nearly as big as her lol! I would have loved to have had another one straight after Joss, but sadly it didnt work out that way. Never mind maybe with the next ones :o) Congratulations on passing your exam!

Great age gap now, but was it hard when they were all really little and needing mummy's love and attention? How was your sleep? LOL

I met Craig the newsagent on Friday in the chocolate shop. I told him to say hi but didn't say how we met. ;)

Oh, they are so cute. It's great when they are all excited and there's no carrying on.

I have girls ask me all the time about having kids close together, and I give an emphatic 'NO'!! My last two were close together and it was a very hard time for me. I guess in the end it depends on the kids and on the sanity level of their mother lol..... I am so pleased we all survived toddlerhoodom.

As for the comment you left on my blog about 'socks up being cool'...... You have no idea how much I try to tell him that they look much much better down......(when we were younger, we wanted them short, hated knee highs) now I have to hunt out longer socks for him, and, yes all his mates wear them the same.......kids lol....

Hope you aren't too sore tomorrow after your workout... What are DOMS?

And I thought my kids were close.
Jack was 3 1/4 when Sam was born and Zachary was almaost neatly in the middle.
When Hugh goes to kinder and then school you will be lost for ....let's see.... a few days and then freedom until 3.30 when all hell breaks loose for a few hours.
Love always and some days I wish my kids were 5, 4 and 2 1/2 like they were once.
