In the absence of a court order, neither parent has superior rights to the children. Thus, if you have the children at some point, or have access to the children, without trespassing, then you have every right to have your children spend time with you.
Be aware, however, that some judges have issues with cohabitation and the matter could affect a custody decision if you ultimately end up in court due to an inablility to agree on a custody arrangement.
