Sat- Wed when when I am home with the kids (work Thur--Fri) I hang out all washing in the morning before we go anywhere and wash dishes! then do our usual daily activities and then we have 4pm pack up time! I put on our cleaning CD and the kids put their toys away (most of the time), help me vac, clean the bathroom (well squirty bottle of water! and cloth), dust and tidy up - I start dinner will its cooking bath kids, get them out dressed put on a baby Einstein DVD while I finish dinner. Dinner is about 5:30 ish and then slow bedtime routine.

It doesn't always work but we get there!!!!
