How do you homeschool with babies in tow?

I started preschool with DD1 right after she turned 3. DS was 11 mos and I was pregnant. We mainly did/do letters/numbers, crafts, sensory activites, etc, so nothing major. I used to prep after I put her and DS down for bed, and we did school during DS's nap. However, I have a 1.5 y/o and a 2 m/o now and I'm finding any time I have left in the evening goes toward sleeping. How do you prep, let alone have time to "teach," when you're up all night with babies and don't have more than a few seconds here or there during the day without a child in your arms?

For us, calendar time is about praying for someone (our church puts out a prayer calendar. We pray for whomever is listed each day. Then we talk about the days of the week and add that day's number to the calendar. Really, I just want them to have the habit of praying for others.
The math, days of the week, etc...from calendar time are just an easy bonus.
ETA: You have a baby...a tiny baby! You are in NB survival mode. Declare that it is summer vacation (or "mom needs her sanity" vacation. Come back to school that needs prep in a few months. For now, school can be read alouds and living life!
