My Babies have turned FIVE!!!

Well what does a mother do? After five years of changing twice as many nappies, twice as many feeds, one and a half as many tantrums, twice as many cuddles, the simple pleasures of having two children the same age and a boy and a girl who do things differently, I have had to let them go.
They are now old enough to be at SCHOOL! Yes my twins turned five on Tuesday and celebrated their party on Saturday with many of their friends.



A week ago it started with the preparation of cakes and icing, bright colours and PINK!!! Yes Nara loves her pink. We had decided on a disco party so Lachlans cake took on a disco floor look.

A collection of the party photos, we had 18 kids here and they danced up a storm, ate heaps and bounced alot of energy around the backyard and on the trampoline! It was a great party with the lounge decked out as a disco room with many lights and decorations borrowed from friends.

We have also been very busy with Alyssa and her marching lately too. She starts competitions in 2months so lots and lots of practice.

On Monday it was the twins last day of Kindergarten, where they got a crown that they decorated, a diploma to go in their profile book, and a wee play dough cake to blow candles out on.

Then on Tuesday it was their actual birthday and their first day of school. My babies got up and unwrapped presents and then got dressed in their school uniform, they looked all grown up and so small all at the same time. we walked to school with their father and then they showed us where their desks were and how they sat on the mat when school started. I am so proud of my babies and how they have started so well. We are all tired and have had a very long two weeks with preparation for the party and beginning school. So I think I will be using the rest of the week to relax.... oh dear I still have to work, oh and marching practice, oh and Lachlan wants a friend to come and play.... oh well no rest for the wicked.
