Do I put em back where I found them, alone, squeeking to get immediately eaten by cats?
Do I take some care of them at all???
I've had them for 10 minutes and I'm already attached 
Well if the cats were at them, or even around, well that sucks, because I'm telling you that mommas looking for them if she's not dead. Barring cats, or a dead mother, try taking them back. Even if you just sit them at the bottom of the tree and go watch them from a distance for a while. Maybe read a book in the sun. If it gets dark out all sorts of creatures could get at them.. Look for a 'nest.'
I've seen this happen before and momma just ran down and carried it back up.
I know it's a confusing situation, I'd be helping out too if I could. I save bugs, lol.

if you keep them bottle weak formula or get lambs formula and use weaker amounts
if eyes open then after they feeding liquid try baby rice or weetabix warmed with the formula milk to get em on solids.
then look up what they need after that.
mealworms will give protein thats easy to digest too
if you keep them its going to get nuts(pardon the pun) when they start running around lol

yea i think it'd be a good idea leaving them where they fell and just watching them, and if the momma dont come back call the squirrel services and adopt those suckers

If you wanted to have the mother reclaim them, do what XLcaps said, put them back and watch from a distance.

I know this is the best thing to do, but I found them on the sidewalk of a 4 lane road.... Why would momma squirell leave them there squeeking on their own? Did she get run over? Why wasn't she already there?

Well, here are some reasons. If they fell out of the tree like you think then maybe the mom will come back. I don't think you should watch from a distance with them just out in the open because a bird will swoop down and take at least one.

That was what I was thinking.
Raise them until they're big enough to run around, then release em. Who knows, maybe they'll stick around your house, and then you'll have wild pet squirrels.
