I think just fully enjoy your kids for these kind of rides! Don't get frustrated, just let yourself do it for fun.

Could you go out with the family, then sneak back out for a few? Maybe climb a hill? That's a good workout in a hurry!
Be yourself, to the extreme!
Oh, I just remembered one thing I got that worked really well: http://www.x2cycle.com/. I don't think it would work with your younger child but maybe the older one. It's just a bar that hooks her stem to your seat post (or vice versa). It come off really easily so there's no worry about one of you making the other one fall. And you can either pull or push the kid. So you could be pushing one kid with the x2cycle, and pulling the other one on a trail-a-bike, or something.
My husband & I used it some too. It works great for equalizing unequal riders, but there were some control issues and he never liked it.
