Home work out with limited equipment

Me and my wife just welcomed our first child last week so for the short term it seems getting to the gym regularly is going to be tough.
I usually lift 3 days a week and was happy with the progress I’ve made in hitting my goal of 1/2/3/4.
I’m trying to put together some stuff I can do at home to try and limit my losses as best I can until she is a little older and I can lift regularly again.
My equipment on han is not much but here’s what I got.
1 EZ curl bar
1 dumbbell that i can clip free weights onto.
2 25 LB weights
6 10 lb weights
5 5lb weights
A perfect push up set and an ab wheel
I was hoping someone might have ideas for some lifts I can do with the above in my back yard. I know I can do stuff like curls, skull crushers and even lat raises with the dumbbell but other than that I’m kind of short on ideas.
Thanks in advance for any advice or ideas, I really appreciate it.

Add a kettlebell and a sandbag, 50-60lb kettlebell and a 35-75lb sandbag. Swings, 1 or 2 hand, cleans and snatches and get ups, you can use the sandbag or the kettlebell for all of that stuff if the weight is right.
Without adding any equipment and using what you got now you can do all kinds of lunges, pistol squats, goblet squats, RDLs, SLDLs, step ups, farmer carries, DB thrusters, DB press, flies, pullovers, single arm rows. If I was in your shoes and couldn't add any equipment, or maybe you can but don't want to for the aforementioned reasons, I'd probably just make peace with having to bid a temporary "adieu" to heavier strength training and just set my eyes on doing the kind of stuff I mentioned. Just as long as you focus on driving yourself hard (push yourself up to that "I'm gonna puke" threshold) and keep rest intervals tightly controlled I would think you could keep your conditioning really high and maintain some strength.
Do you have anything to do chin-ups/pull-ups on?

Easy, you dont even need those weights. Pushup variations and pullups. You could get some rings if you wanted to splurge

Two birds with one stone, since you have a little one.
If you have a spare $6-8k laying around.

It doesn't get any easier as kids get older; time only becomes less and you have to adapt
