I am 95% sure the girls are singing 'do you want to build a snow man' from Disney Frozen as the preform in the play room. I realize that a quite house would be nice but happy kids playing/singing is right up there with a quite house.

The new night time routine
Long ago (or so it feels) the bed time routine consisted of bath, book, and then we placed the girls each in their crib and came down stairs. Now bed time routine consists of the same bath time. Followed by going up stairs for each girl to pick out a book. Now is where we diverge from the previous routine. The girl want to 'read' the book. each page each girl and then want me to read it to confirm the words before or after them. This makes each book take ALOT longer to complete and very hard to follow the riveting plot line of 'what is a princess'. Once the books are completed then each girls goes in their room and requested that i sit in the hall. The hall is the next best thing to me being in their bed but since I can not duplicate myself and neither child wants to be on the short end of the stick of my being in the other sisters bed they have settled on the hallway. this is where the delay tactics come into play. As much as I would like to tell them that "we have already done story time and pray time and it is time for bed", these comments are guaranteed to get them another 5 min of my engagement: "mommy tell me a story about when we were in your belly" "Can you pray for my tummy, knee, elbow, the clouds..." "Mommy, can you tell me about when you married daddy" who can say NO to that.
