I agree with the above posters. I also try to "clean as I go" as much as possible. I try and tidy up when the babies are having free play. I get the playpens set up while they have breakfast and I wake my older children for school so that now all the bedrooms become available. I am also lucky they have a morning nap so I clean up, throw a load of laundry on, clean up breakfast dishes and start prepping and cooking lunch. I let them free play right as I get lunch ready and they all feed themselves, I only serve finger foods as well. After they eat before our walk they free play for 10 minutes while I clean off the highchairs, sweep and mop the floor and wipe my counters off. I agree with the diapers too, I wait a good half hour after meals for them to all poop. There have been one too many times I am loading up my stroller and wagon and one or a few have pooped. Also use your afternoon nap time for YOU time as much as possible. Give yourself at least an hour to do nothing. You need that time.
