Pure Chaos!!!!

Well today was a crazy day... not that other days aren't, today was just more so than most. It started off with a blissful 7km run, followed by children sleeping in. NEVER a good sign! Kids were up and dressed (not without some tears), bags and snacks packed, shoes on and loaded in the car... and we were off! I was able to drop Trace of at pre-school without incident and was sooo excited to take the twins to their first ever Social Recreation class!!! We talked about school, and bringing in their own snacks in their little bags they picked themselves. And how we had to listen to teacher Tina and be respectful of others. That we would know a few of the kids there, including another set of twin boys that we see regularly.

Well... we get out of the car, walk into the building, take the elevator down (I am not helping two kids down the stairs while carrying 3 bags AND my hot coffee), and walk into Tina's very quiet classroom. Wouldn't you know it, she has DINOSAUR toys in her room, and  sand table, and books on dinos and sooo must stuff to play with. The catch, SHARING the toys! Once more kids arrived (including second set of twins) we went outside to play. It was great! They can make all the noise they want and it doesn't hurt your ears (as much), they can run, slide, play in a play house and LOTS of other stuff! BLISSS!! I am thinking, man this is going AWESOME, all these boys are GREAT! Then I look over and see Canaan in a full out kicking match with the tallest boy in the class (he is bigger than Trace and only 2!!!!), Jaxon is in a corner which leads me to believe Canaan is sticking up for his brother for some reason or another. After the fight is broken up we head off to play with other toys. All is well... until it is time to bring kids inside to clean up for snack time. We go through washing of hands, and sitting down Canaan is all for it, Jaxon has a fit and has to sit down on his own terms. The other set of twins is also off and running, all I can think of is AWESOME! This makes me feel normal, (which is why I love hanging out with other twins, nobody really gets a mother of twins except another mother of twins). Once the story has been read and snack time finished it is time for songs.....

PLEASE cue CRAZYNESS x 4 if not more! Canaan is screaming that he doesn't want to put his book upon the shelf and neither does Jaxon, they want to keep their books, they don't understand this whole sitting in a circle, jumping and waving your arms around to music things, and decide that they must scream and cry instead. The other twins do not agree with sitting still either, they are running around screaming with mine. Please remember songs still going on, Teacher Tina being an awesome and amazing sport as are other mothers as their kids melt down as well... one little girl is off to time out, three other boys are picking up assortment of toys that got thrown around, other twin mom, along with myself and 2 other moms dont' know what to do anymore so we decide to almost pee ourselves laughing. While a new mom to the group gets up and walks out with her kid... huh... wonder why? Today was a good day... crazy, funny, a learning experience but a good day! Here is hoping next Tuesday goes a bit uhhhh smoother??? Hahahaha!!!!!!
