Fine line between new babies and new "toys"...

I am EXTREMELY fortunate to have my SD5 and 7 absolutely LOVE our new babies! That being said...when they are at our house, I feel like I lose all control. The babies cry more because they can't nap or play because they are constantly being man-handled. I don't really want to complain about the behaviors, because, like I said, I am ecstatic that the girls love and accept their new sisters. However, does anybody have any advice on how I can get the older girls to give the babies some space without causing resentment or hindering their enthusiasm??

Bear with me...LOL

OMG...the things I could vent about!!! Let's just start with the fact that I, a professional woman who owns her own home, has landed on her boyfriend's parents' couch...where I will live, along with our 3 young daughters until the greedy ex moves out of HIS house! This woman has been nothing less than a poor excuse for a mother! She drops her kids off where ever she can on the few days they aren't with us and STILL collects $300 a week for child support! Where does that $$ go?? To fund her multiple nights a week out and her expensive car!
