I want to do that as well when I have kids

but do you stay at home?
I think this would be really difficult with a full time job, unless you are able to get like 6 months off ha ha ha
I think if this sounds good to you, DO IT!
ha ha, but of course it will be REALLY hard in the beginning, and when they leave for college, it might be a bit overwhelming
but I think that the close they are in age the closer they are, my cousins are just a little more than a year apart and they're very close and get along like best friends, they even have the same group of friends!
my siblings are WAY WAY WAY older then me, and I don't ever even talk to them, even though my sister is in her mid 30's and I'm 18 we fight like crazy.

it's just up to you, and how you raise them, on how close they'll be!!!

good luck!
