I have a huge yard and I would say that 90% of it is weeds of some sort. I have two kids and a dog and I want them to be able to play outside with no shoes and have a thistle free yard for them to do so. The grass that we do have is being over taken and we have such great grass that feels good to sit and walk on. I want the weeds gone. I have clover, thistles, dandelions, weeds with small yellow flowers on them, and we have many more that grow right along with them. Someone please help me!

With regards to weeds, I have only had luck with the use of vinegar or salt and digging up the thistles, myself. I do sympathize with you about the weeds. About the children going barefoot, I would be hesitant about that. Long before you ever lived there, someone else was on that land and may have had broken glass on the property. This glass does not go away always, even when overturned. It could even be in new topsoil. Perhaps they could wear some flip flops on their feet :)
I think the best and fastest answer would be to start laying carpet in the yard. Many people use old carpet, flipped upside down to make weed free paths thru their veggie gardens and it lasts a very long time.
