With things like washing dishes and cooking, perhaps you can leave dishes for DH to do at the end of every day, so just make sure you have enough dishes to last you all day with you and the kiddies, and perhaps ask your DH/MIL to alternate between cooking, and do dinners/lunches at the end of every day or even every week and freeze them (if weekly) or keep them in the fridge to use the next day, as for things like snacks, maybe have your MIL make a cake or banana bread, cookies, or something like that, that can be stored out of the fridge (save room) that can be used for afternoon/morning tea or a snack or something along those lines.

Quiche muffins are a great idea too for lunches/snacks! (just a quiche put into muffin tins instead of a pie dish) and are easy to dish up! Can be served cold or warm, so either chuck em on a plate or in the microwave!

I hope Ive helped somewhat hun.

Perhaps you could get MIL to take off 2-3 weeks, and DH the remainder? Or vice versa? That way you can actually have someone there the whole time?
