Getting outside and grounding yourself should help - hug a tree, it will literally make you feel better

Other than that - I find that drinking something that you find calming/soothing helps, as well. For me, almost any kind of tea makes me sleepy, so if I have some green tea, etc I seem to calm right down (probably because I start dozing off, lolol, but whatever works!)
When it comes to the kids, I remember once a friend of mine used a great trick when they were watching a bunch of kids: they had the kids play a game of "Statue". All of them have to be completely still & silent- the first one who moves or makes a sound loses Works like a charm - at least for 10 minutes or so until one of the kids can't stand it anymore!!
Maybe combine all of the above - make yourself something soothing to drink, bring the kids outside with you, and have them play Statue while you sip your drink while leaning against a tree
