100 percent agree with getting out of the house. Find a park near you that’s fenced in and age appropriate (mine are not quite 2 and 5 so same boat) and then feel free to ignore your kids and do a crossword on your phone or something and let them entertain themselves.

On days you can’t get out, my kids love putting together obstacle courses and running races (they call them popsicle courses as an added bonus of cute) which has the added bonus of tiring them out. They also love building forts out of pillows and blankets and playing “family” inside with their stuffies for up to 30-45 min at a time (longer if there can be snacks involved).
