I live with my boyfriend and we have 2 kids. Who claims head of household?

I live with my boyfriend and we have 2 children together (we are not married).  I understand that we cannot both claim head of household, but I make less money, so it's more beneficial for me to claim our children as dependents as I get earned income credit.  But since he makes more money, can he claim head of household with me claiming both kids?
