(i often go to bed with dishes in the sink with the comfort of knowing i can do them in the morning when i am not quite as exhausted.) maybe the tidying up of pajamas etc. is something you can tell them they have to do in between after-school snack and dinner? my mom would sometimes threaten us with no dinner or no snack over our infractions (even though she never actually did deprive us of them, that i can remember) though i doubt that's a good tactic to use with kids who have experienced hunger the way they have.
