I just am confused on what would be the best option and worried about the kids' school. I really don't want them coming out with any higher debt then a car loan..but I don't want to shortchange our retirement either.

Jim thanks for all your analysis I'll need to re-read it a few more times to catch onto all you're saying.haha Oh but I'd be leaning towards using the 30k in Roths for the next 3 years if I didn't use it for the house or 529's.
Congrats, your doing great.
