It must've been hard for the kids, my poor boy felt as if his dad was gone for a year instead of 7mths. My son, even today, really wants to sleep in our bed, he used to asked me a lot, when he was 3 I'd let him, but not anymore, at all. It is hard for some kids to break the habit, make sure every night you tell him that it is no longer ok for him to come to your bed, of course he'll still come to your bed, so nicely scort him out, tuck him in again...and again when he get up again. This will be a pain in the butt to do for a few nights, but he will catch on.
Could you do something to his room so it' s more appealing to him? new superhero bedspreads, new nighlight, glow in the dark something? That way you can stress he is a big boy now and he had his own bed and doestn' need to come to your bed anymore. Good luck!
