You have the right to pick them up. Whether you should depends on a lot of things, including the fact that the school year is almost over and you want them to finish the year at their present school. You can petition the court for a specific custody order if you have a problem in getting them.

If you want a broader description of your "rights", you need to sit down with a family law attorney and ask all of your questions.
