The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music

My sister-in-law suggested that we try Kindermusic with the boys. I checked into it, and there isn't really a place close to us, and close is really the key when trying to get out weekly with twins.

One of Scott's co-workers suggested Music for Kids, I did some research and this place is only about five minutes away from our house. PERFECT right? I thought so!

Today was our first class, and it was just one of those mornings. Class started at 9:15, so my plan was to start loading up the car at 8:45. That would give us plenty of time to get our shoes on, get into the car, get there, unload, get inside, pay for the classes, and get settled and acclimated before class.

To accomplish an 8:45 departure, the boys must start their bottles at 8:15 AM and everything must go smoothly. So rather than a long narrative, I'll just breakdown the time line of my morning.

5:50 AM Ryan wakes
6:00 AM Ryan wakes up Evan who has been sleeping on the living room floor since 4:30AM
6:15 AM Mommy starts making breakfast
6:20 AM Daddy starts feeding Evan
6:22 AM Mommy places Ryan's cooled scrambled egg on tray
6:23 AM Mommy makes Ryan's toast
6:24 AM Mommy unloads the dishwasher, makes the days bottles, cleans up breakfast dishes
6:40 AM Daddy heads for the shower, Mommy continues the above
6:41 AM Mommy lets the boys out of chairs, Mommy continues the above
7:00 AM Daddy leaves for work
7:01 AM Mommy changes Evan's poop filled diaper, disposes of diaper, and washes hands
7:06 AM Mommy changes Ryan's poop filled diaper, disposes of diaper, and washes hands
7:15 AM Mommy chases Ryan and Evan around the house, trying to dress them
7:30 AM Mommy gulps down a bagel, Mommy needs energy for Music class
7:45 AM Mommy gives Evan his meds
8:00 AM Mommy gets bottles and lets Ryan sit on couch to drink
8:02 AM Mommy catches Evan, Evan throws up on couch and floor and clothes
8:03 AM Mommy cleans up vomit. Realizes that Ryan is pouring milk all over himself and the couch
8:05 AM Mommy cleans up milk, Ryan and Evan's poop filled diapers, disposes of diapers and washes hands

Okay, you get the picture...crazy morning. Evan proceeded to throw up again, all over his new clothes, me and the spot on the floor that I just finished cleaning up.

So in our third outfit of the day, Evan finished his bottle, we got out the door, and made it to class, EARLY! Am I good or what?

Ah yes, MUSIC CLASS!

I spent 45 minutes singing and dancing while the boys stood in the middle of the room looking at me like I had two heads, Ryan sat in the lap of another lady and the boys commandeered the teachers keyboard. Can't wait until next week.
