You are not alone don't be too hard on yourself kids know and right now they know mummys tired and they are going to push you. ds is a couple of weeks off being 3, I swear he has been experiencing the 3s for about 6 months now, yesterday apparently it was ok to destroy things that were his.
Even when I explained to him that if he breaks his toys by standing on them I will throw them in the bin, the responce I got but it's mine, as if that makes it better.
Maybe they are wanting some consequence. I would have thrown the colouring books and crayons in the bin (or pretended if they wwere expensive) and let ds cry about it. But i'm a mean mummy
and the standard rule for tidying up here, is if mummy asks you to and she has to tidy everything up for you, it's gone, (hidden in another room). A girl I work with will actually throw toys out if they are not tidied up, even the expensive ones.
focus your energy on the eldest one because the younger one might copy good behaviour too
