I changed the timings for a meals since I was literally in the kitchen all day. By the time the older ones were done snack and ready to play it was time for the baby to wake up who was now thirsty and then after that it was lunchtime..... and the day wore on. I serve a very early snack that doubles as a breakfast for those that didn't eat much or tops up those that did so that is served at 8:30. Lunch is served at 11 and I start cooking at 10:30. Babies that wake get their snack in their chairs while I am making lunch and it is a drink and just enough to tide them over. That gives me a full 2 hour block of time to do stuff. Since my main playroom is in the basement it means a lot less running up and down the stairs constantly since all food is done upstairs in the kitchen. I also find doing this that the kids eat a better lunch having the longer time to get hungry and then eataing early enough that they aren't too tired to do it. In the summer we pause for a drink of water mid morning.
