How do I shoot a pic with 2 kids in the frame and make them sharp and blur the background? If I focus on one kid the other gets a little out of focus and if I decrease the aperture (or increase the f number) I don't get the background blur. Any advice will be really helpful. Thank you.

What you want to do is alter the laws of physics, good luck with that.. Your best bet if you dont want to increase your depth of field is to get the faces on the same focal plane. Pose them so that their faces are equidistant from the camera. Otherwise close down the aperture.

Also keep in mind that distance to the subject and the focal length of the lens you use has a great effect on your depth of field so consult a DOF calculator to see how your gear affects your working distances. http://www.dofmaster.c​om/dofjs.html (external link)
