Is there any chance you may have mold or some other allergen in your house? Maybe clean your showers/tubs w/bleach and check your windows to see if there is any water trapped or mold.
Shampoo your carpets in case there is anything trapped in there.
Also, check your heating vents - maybe they need to be cleaned.
Other than that, it seems like you're really doing everything you possibly can.

Clean all of the toys and wash all stuffed animals. Unfortunately kids tend to get sick especially if they are in school or day care.

Re: PLEASE tell me the best way to kill the germs in my house!!!!!
When people keep getting sick at my house we just start washing anything that can be washed....comforters, mattress pads, the pillow coverings that go under the pillow cases, even curtains. We will use hand towels only once or go to something disposable. I then try to get my husband to steam clean the carpets (I have a back problem so he does it). The dog bedding is not even safe when I get started.

Great advice above...
Change clothes when coming home from school (you included)
Wash hands and face when come home
Use papertowels to dry hands (at least until everyone is well)
Open windows! Even in the winter. Any time we have a chance we open windows (if really cold we will close the doors to bedrooms)
What I thought was interesting is that DS tested positive for rhino virus 2 weeks after his cold! He showed NO symptoms. Just taught us not to back down with cleaning even if we think all is well.
