So, getting "rid" of the kids for the weekend is not an option.

We are also in the middle of a custody battle for one of his kids, so them going to their mom's for the weekend is also not an option. It is an extremely adversarial relationship at this time with her.

I'm sorry that you are going through that - I went through that in my first marriage and my ex trying to gain custody of his daughter. It is very difficult. Hope you have fun this weekend!!!!!!
