Totally agree - routine is key for that after school chaos! I do a lot of what you are saying too - I always make snack about 10 minutes before I head to the bus so they have plates ready and waiting when they get in. We do homework right away - it's not an argument b/c that's just how it is. We can't afford to wait tho - we have activities almost every day after school starting at 5 pm on so it has to get tackled right away!
