Wait until kids go to bed to start chores.

Crockpot meals are a life saver!! Allrecipes has an app that will give you new ideas. Not sure how much laundry you have but maybe you can do one load a day or every other day that way it doesn't seem like its piled up. And your oldest one is big enough to start learning how to work the washer. You can have your little ones "help" you fold the laundry. That way you're getting things done and spending time with them and teaching them a skill all at once.
