[quote=Anonymous]OP - my kids are now 4.5 and 2.  The 2yo naps.  Our typical weekend schedule looks like:

7am on parent wakes up with the kids.  The other one "sleeps in" until 8 or so.  Kids do breakfast and are usually in clothes by 8:30.

8:30/9-12:30 we're all out of the house.  Usually the 4 of us together, occasionally we'll split up in a different combo.  Sometimes one parent is solo with the kids.  We try to eat lunch outside - in the park, at a playground, etc.

12:30ish one parent comes home with the toddler for a nap.  Sometimes we all come home together and my 4.5yo watches a show, plays quietly, etc. while the toddler naps.

3pm or so one parent is usually either back outside someplace within a few blocks from home (a very local playground, chalking on the sidewalk, etc) or else we're at home.  Kids can play together nicely now.  We try to engage the kids in family clean up during this period.  One parent us also usually cleaning, another may be making dinner, or entertaining the kids, etc.

5pm home for dinner, 6pm bath, 7pm bedtime.

We don't go to the gym but most weekends we're walking a lot during our morning outing.  Sometimes DH gets up early on his "sleeping in" day to go for a run.  We also don't do church, but I feel like there's time in our day if there was something like that we prioritized.
