A day at the farm

So the day starts just like every week day morning.. per chaos. Wake up to an alarm clock that Im sure would look much better in a million pieces, get up, get dressed, and wake up Zach and Emily (yeah right). Then I go downstairs to make lunches, today I get to make 3 additional lunches because the twins and I are going on a field trip to a Farm. Yay! As I am making the lunches I realize I don't have enough sandwich baggies.. is nothing ever easy? So I decide I will run to the store and get those single pringles you can get..ok so done with lunches at this point. Now to go rewake Zach and Emily! I have to do this EVERY morning, Zach usually a few times. I then get the twins up to get dressed. Oh I forgot to meantion that Kylie is already up and dressed because she has a game today. Ok fast forward past the yelling, rewaking, and too many numerous questions like " are you going to school barefoot today?" We are now in the car.. I drop off Zach and Emmy and am now on my way to the ortho because today is the day Kylie gets her braces (yep I am a horrible mom) so I go in let them know of our arrangements ( arrangements are her grandfather is picking her up and dropping her off at school), then she goes in and I am finally on my way to the school for the twin's field trip. Fast past the waiting to getting on the bus. Now the bus ride there was great, Quinn looked out the window the whole time, while Ashton and I played.

Trip was loooong all the way to Canton and good 30-45 min drive on a bus with 20+ 3/4 year olds. We get there and first thing mommy uses the rest room TIP don't drink alot of coffee before a bouncy bus ride!! Then we at the playground, the twins love this and play quite good. Now we move to see the animals in the barn, they have sheep, goats, bunnies, kittens, baby pigs, cows, the works.

But now we are in the barn with 40+ people and me with 2 toddler boys. Can I just say that it's impossible to watch 2 boys go in 2 totally different directions!!! Chaos breaks out.. I am now doing my very best to keep composure and not freak every 5 secs I can't find one of the boys. This field trip will be remembered by many as me calling the boys names or asking have you seen him. Finally I bail out of the barn and go out to a hill that despite is wet, I let the boys slide down repeatedly. After about 15 mins everyone joins us outside and we get to go on a hayride. But not before Quinn and Ash and Jackson (a little boy they convinced to be bad) run away chasing the tractor pulling other guests on a hayride. Finally on the hayride, and Im in blissful happiness. The boys watch what can only be described as boring scenary. We get off the ride and instantly Ashton takes off, I slowly begin to panic when he repops. We eat lunch but instead of the warm barn we were promised we end up eating at the playground.. do I need to explain?

The twins don't eat instead they inch toward the opening in the playground and eventually take off sending me to run at my fastest to catch up to them and then drag them back.. no really drag they would not walk. Ok so now its diaper changing time.. thankfully the bus driver lets us use the bus ( its warm) and we head to where they are giving horse back rides. OH but its near this quaint little play lighthouse with a slide and swings and tractor to play on... really!!!

So needless to say the twins did not ride the horse, instead I spent the remainer of the time chasing them from on thing to the next. At one point they were 50 yards away from each other and I just stood in middle waiting to see who would run. At 1230, 30 mins before we were suppose to leave I gave up and took both boys on the bus to sit and wait. So what did I learn ... never go somewhere with wide open spaces alone with the twins.
