we live in the city and the only way for them to go outside is with me or dh. That is, in my mind, a huge part of the problem. There are not a lot of opportunities for them to burn off energy within the rules. I try to do things with them that are acceptable sources of physical fun, but that is not always possible, especially this time of year with a baby, etc. And it definitely doesn't help me to cook dinner, do the laundry, and the rest of my stuff!

That must be really hard! I can see how that would not be much help to you, then.
