Mom with two busy boys- 3 years old and 5 years old.

Two dogs, one cat and a fish tank!

Pick up the boys from after school. Take them home, give a snack. Play with them and dogs the outside. Until mom gets home from work.

I work in Philadelphia and get out at around 5 and get home around 6:15 or so. Sometimes sooner. My 3 year old gets out at 2:40pm and the 5 year old gets out at 3:13pm. They will go home, get snacks and play until I get home. Some days they have hw or tasks and need to get that done.
