When gone I would crate him, then when you come back take the boy out for a walk, he needs to use that energy up and a nice walk will help and you can have your kids to go with you and him. Sounds like lots of energy between kids and pup.
Just make the best of it.
You are truly blessed you have a healthy happy playful puppy relax and enjoy him.
