We go on outings in the morning, to the park usually, in summer and come back just before lunchtime (we are gone from about 9-11). Then after naps and snacks, we head outside again and usually stay there until pick-up time depending on the weather. I take everything we need outside as well including my phone and the kids' bags so that pick-up is easy. Actually, I prefer having them picked up from outside because I don't have to take one child up from the playroom while the rest cry because it isn't their parent. This is, of course, the summer time routine. We can't stay out as long in winter and generally go out mainly in the morning, but sometimes still go out in the afternoon depending on how cold it is.
