Cleaning out Car (not at all musical, but very necessary since it's a mess, inside and out) - we can play music while doing it though!
How it went:
The little kids (aged 2-3) loved playing in the water, exploring the different sounds, before they moved over to cooling off in the sprinkler.
We never did get around to any singing inside, as we spent more time making green cookies (they are cookies made with arugula & almond milk puree) than anything else. A good portion of our time indoors was spent getting into swimsuits, getting sunscreen on, changing diapers for the younger two kids (L has been potty trained since he was barely 2), and then getting dried off and dressed again when we came back in from outside. I always underestimate how much time wardrobe changes take with 3 little ones!
After getting their lunch prepared and packed up, they all chose instruments to play during the walk to pick up RJ from Kindergarten. We must be quite a sight with a full double stroller, RJ's razor scooter resting on the stroller handle, and one kid on my back in the ergo! The kids did enjoy their walk, happily making music along the way.
The afternoon did not pan out at all. My allergies (or maybe a cold, still not sure which) kicked in, and I was just exhausted and stuffy. So, I let my two kids have free play while I rested. It wasn't ideal, but sometimes you need an afternoon to just relax, so we did.
