I'm getting really tired of cranky, overtired children on Mondays :-(

Don't forget the time on the weekend for many of us. Kids are for sure totally lost routine wise and I found I was constantly adding an hour and say yes time for snack or lunch or nap based on what the time would have been last week.

I usually plan a quiet, unstructured day on Mondays to accommodate for extra tired little ones. If possible, we get outside in the morning and that usually brightens moods. Otherwise, I would just forget about crafts...if they are tired, they are not going to get anything out of it anyway and they are all pretty young. Read some stories, do some quiet activities, and make naptime earlier. That's how Mondays go for me most times
