Only other thing I'll add (all other good advise) is maybe instead of a 50mm lens for indoors you get a 35mm lens for indoors. On a lower end (crop) dSLR the 50mm is pretty tight for indoors for most people. I think several people here shoot with the Sigma version of it (which comes in both canon and nikon versions).
Then get a basic zoom type lens for outdoors catching the kiddos. I used my Tamron 18-300 lens for years before I upgraded and it works very well outdoors (good light). Plus I love that I can zoom in on my kiddos when they run away from me and my camera!
So yes, try them out, see how they feel. Don't buy the kit, buy the body only (unless you decide that you really do only want the lens that comes with the kit which is not good inside). Or go the bridge camera route.
