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

[sunnydays]

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
