Travel schedule just got cut in half - how do I actually use this time with my kids?

So my role got restructured and suddenly I'm down from 2 weeks/month on the road to just 1. It sounds amazing in theory but now I'm home more and... I don't know what to do with myself? Like, I don't want to just be a paycheck that shows up for dinner. My kids (7 and 10) don't really want to hang with dad, they want to do their own thing. I feel like I'm awkwardly trying to insert myself into their routines. Do you guys have this problem? Or am I just overthinking it and should just... exist in the same space and let things happen naturally?
