Lifestyle- Lightly Active or Active?

I'm trying to determine if my general lifestyle (not including the gym) is lightly active or active.

I'm a full time nanny for twin 10 month old boys. We don't do tons of activity but we go for short walks in the stroller and I basically carry them around intermittently (outside, up and down stairs, giving baths, etc) but they don't crawl or walk yet so I am not to the point of chasing them all day yet. I also do laundry, trash, dishes and other light housework.

Could I get some opinions on whether this would be a lightly active lifestyle or active?

    The scale will tell you. If you loose a lot more than anticipated you need to up to moderate, or higher.
