1. How many kids do you have
Four

2. What are their age gaps
20 months between the first three, then 3yr3mths between 3 and 4

3. How many bedrooms in your home
three

4. Bedroom set ups (ie, do they share rooms, each have own room etc)
Girls in one room, boys in the other. If #4 had of been another girl we would have moved them all into the master room as it's huge - 7mt x 5mts and more than enough room for 3 children, but it worked out just right in the end LOL. The girls have a single bed each in their room and the boys will eventually get bunks when Alister is in a bed as there isnt' enough room for 2 singles in there cause of a dodgy layout and a built in robe and there is only just enough room for a bed, cot and toy box. Eventually we will add another room on as I think it will be hard for the boys to share in a few years because of the age gap between them - the boys are the oldest and youngest. So one day they will have their own rooms and the girls will still share

5. What kind of car do you drive
HOlden Captiva LX 7 seater which is more than enough room for us all, even when we go away it's been fine - tight, but fine LOL.

6. Do you have 2 cars to move you all or just 1
Only the one.
