How to Plant, Grow, and Care for Daffodils

I've had daffs in my front gardens for 2 years. This year I needed to drastically amend the garden soil, so I dug up the bulbs in September or October and put them in pots (outside). I figured that would keep them dormant until I was ready to put them back into the ground. The weather has been mild most of the fall, and apparently they all decided it was spring already! I have 3 smallish pots with a half dozen sprouts each - help! what do I do with them now?
I don't want to put them back in the garden, it's abruptly going to drop to freezing next week. I suppose I could bring them in the house and let them grow and bloom indoors, but I don't really have a good place to put them. Other ideas?
Update: I put them on shelves in the garage, and a couple of weeks later they started really taking off. So I brought the silly things in to a countertop in the master bath. Ta-da! They've started blooming already! One pot is noticeably behind the other two, so I expect the overall display will last for quite a while. Once spring arrives OUTside I'll put them back in those gardens and hope they hibernate properly this time.
My daffodils near my stone wall are being overtaken by broad leaf weeds. Since daffodils appear to be a monocot, is is safe to use a broad leaf weed killer on them to control broad leaf weeds?
Last spring all the flower buds got hit with a frost, they turned brown and never did flower. This year I have no buds, is it because of last years frost?
Thank you,

Can daffodils that have bloomed survive indoors? If so how is this accomplished?
Thank you for your time!
