Mark,
I have been in this position and it's a little scary.
I would bring those things with you that you would normally use at home. Find the best window light you can and do what you do.
One year old kids are problematic in many ways. Move a coffee table into the best window light and set up your camera and tripod. Have someone plop the kiddo onto the table after your set up and snap away. This will elevate them and help with the problem of shooting down to the top of their head.
Put the other kids in a chair, again in the best light you can find.
I would avoid going outside. Your best chance of controlling the kids is indoors and you will have a more predictable light source.
Another thing is to have as many people leave the room as you can. One assistant to help is all you need and the others can be a real distraction.
Basically, do there what you do at home. Make a check list of stuff to help remember: Batteries, tripod, reflecting board, etc.
Good luck,
Mike
