Hey guys!
Just looking for any suggestions that you guys might have.

I have a 2, 4, 5 year old, and my 15 month old son. The last couple days it seems that the kids go stir crazy when we hit the 4pm mark (It's actually more so the 4 & 5 year olds and the younger ones are happy doing their own thing). By this time we have already done crafts, circle time, stories, coloring, play doh, about an hour of tv time (while the others nap) and outside time at least twice. Do you guys have any suggestions to get us all through the last hour and half of our day?

Honestly, up until that time I'm like 'hey, I can handle this. I love this day home thing' (I've only been up and running for 3 weeks now - this week was the first week with all 3 kids) and then the bickering, whining, and mayhem sets in and all I can think of is 'is it home time yet?'

The most frustrating thing is the 4 year old as he cries ALL the time because he wants EVERY toy that any of the kids have and I always step in and remind him about sharing. Especially at this time. This is also when he starts to rough house and bounce from one couch to the other, throw toys and also drive the dog nuts. I feel that if I could just get a handle on him for this last little bit of the day then the others wouldn't feed off of him. - I should ad that during the day he is pretty good because he is occupied (minus the sharing/whining thing but I think with consistency it should hopefully get better) but at the end of the day he spends a lot of his time in timeout.

Thanks so much!
