Our Daily Schedule

I'm a person of great organization, and need the same schedule day to day to function. So ever since the twins were born, I've had a certain schedule. It varies occasionally, but mostly it stays the same :)
I am not going to include when I get up in the middle of the night to nurse, I don't think that's quite necessary ;)
Our weekend schedules vary all the time, we rarely have one like the other, so I decided not to include those
Monday, Wednesday, Friday
6:00am- I wake up with Katy, feed her, and she usually is content laying in her bouncy nest by herself while I make breakfast for the girls, and do some early morning cleaning.
7:00am- I wake up Libby and Chrissie, get them breakfast, and then Libby likes to sit with Katy, and Chrissie plays with our puppy, Pumpkin, while I clean up from breakfast and pick out the girls' outfits.
7:15am- I get the girls and Katy dressed and ready to get out the door.
