I would agree that 2 pups are alot of work. I have 2 dogs, both 4 years old - and my son has 2 dogs, both 4 years old. Between us we have 2 newfs and 2 'littles' (a SharPei and a collie mutt).
Lots of exercise, and consistentency in rules and routine will get you through. I would have to advise against using the crate as any kind of punishment. Going into the crate should be enjoyable for the dogs.
You've been given lots of good advice, and yes - there will come a time when you'll miss all the rambunctious behavior and wonder what happened to your playful pups. LOL
