We have dinner (5.30 or 6.30 depending on DHs shift), two kids have bath (or big bath with dad) and then put pjs on. on a good night, they will jump on couch with me and read some books and then snuggle in and fall asleep. DS often has a drink of water from a water bottle. on a good night, they are asleep by 8. I then carry them down to bed and tuck them in. They share a room. DS usually wanders into our room between 12 and 4am, although for a while he was sleeping all night every second night. DS has rarely had a day sleep since 12 months.
On a bad night, it will take me til 10 or later to get them to calm down and sit down me (or dh if he is home) and not do circle work or psych each other up.
