Tv makes kids more amped up so avoid that.  I try to wear kids of that age out.  That's the best thing.  Why can't they go outside?  We would have races around the house.  Or you could set up an obstacle course.  Get out trucks, trains and things like that and they can push them around.  play simon says.  Do crazy animal walks . .    you call out an animal and they take a turn walking like the animal and making the noises of that animal (the walking like an animal is soothing and calming to kids---  try bear walk, leap frog, crab walks, duck walks, etc).  Put on music and have them dance and then stop it abruptly and they freeze (kids love that and it gets them moving), etc.

Kids do like to wrestle.  That's the nature of boys.  The more you fight it the more they'll feel trapped inside of a house where they can't be boys and get wilder.  Let them play.  I had some kids over today and they played with nerf swords and had battles.  It's what kids do.  

Once they've had some exercise, they are more apt to sit and do puzzles or color or draw.  Quieter stuff.

You do seem like you are having a rough time with your emotions.  Hope that gets better.

Learning patience is a key thing for all mama's to be.  Your own child will try you as much as these kids are and you have to rise above and be calm and caring and loving.

Take some deep breaths, just try to relax.  

How old are the boys?  They might like to color or draw.  They might like to play with any toys if you have some trains or trucks.  Turn on music for them and play a game of move/dance and when music stops you have to freeze into position, etc.  But it would help for you to say how old they are.  good luck
