And don't be afraid to take a break and put on a kids tv show or video. When they are all sitting down in one space you can sit down too.
When I am over tired I let programming go and do activities together instead so it is kind of a one day theme - read a story then do something related. I leave out any stressful things like craft time and fussing with scissors and glue or paint and opt for no craft at all or just a piece of paper and some crayons.
I do the activities I know they enjoy which makes them happier. Keep meals simple for a couple more days and realize the kids will be fine no matter what you offer so go easy and do only what you feel like doing.
