I would defiately do ME, but like you said, sice the kids will already be in Pj's and asleep, just have all you will need to get yourself up and running for that night in a carry on. If they will hold your bags overnight and get them to you ASAP in the am, go for it! Get in, sleep and wake rested!

You won't want to get your luggage and worry about all of the hassle that surrounds it, the kids can be wakend, especially to a point where getting them back to sleep could be a bigger hassle than the bags ever were!
