Jeannie, I do this once a month, 50% of the time I travel is carry-on.
You'd be amazed what you can cram into a 1 qt. bag.
Now - that said - if they find the extra baggies they will confiscate them. So if you want to take the risk, make sure you divvy up stuff so you have what you need. I don't suggest you even bother taking the risk.
You and your husband each get a bag. 3oz of sunscreen should last you for a week - that's my guess. If you have time to find stick-style sunscreen or bug repellant get that - that doesn't count as a liquid.
I discovered saline solution in individual one-use tube things. You can fit a lot in a baggie and still have what you need for your stay.
