I do tv while I prepare lunch too. If we stayed upstairs they are told as soon as the room is clean they can watch tv and they scramble like madmen to get it done quickly. If we have been in the basement playroom before lunch then once we come upstairs I dont' want them making a mess in the upstairs playroom because this is also the nap space so I put on the tv (there is a small bin of toys and a shelf of books in there too for those that don't want to watch tv). I take them one at a time to do diapers/toileting in between the cooking and while still a crazy time it just seems to work. I put on treehouse tv too.
