There's nothing like crossing the border back into your home country...even if it's only been a short amount of time that you've been away. After getting our Starbucks in NY (from a most jubilant staff that were commenting on the capture/death of Bin Laden), we headed home. I handed over the 5 passports to the border guard, and after a few questions, she said, "Welcome back!" and we were on our way. A good day...Henry didn't nap much, which really added a je ne sais quoi to today's travels. We stopped in Montreal to say hello to Ryan's grandmother (she hadn't yet met Oliver), had an early lunch, and got the boys out of there before they completely ransacked her place.
Today was voting day. I voted before we left, but I was thinking about the Bloc Quebecois while I was driving. No, I didn't vote for them, but driving through Quebec, I finally got to see some Bloc electoral signs. I cannot believe there is actually a Bloc party. I mean, there's no representation anywhere else in the country except for Quebec (I think). Basically, everyone in Quebec would have to vote Bloc in order for anything major to happen, correct (read: this will never happen)? What a colossal waste of time.
The other two boys slept and I drove this leg from Montreal to Edmunston. We are not ashamed to admit that we used the McDonald's Playland area to let the boys run around, came to the hotel (the new Best Western which is quite nice!), and made it to our room, all three boys and our stuff in (get this) ONE TRIP! A huge feat. Everyone (but me, obv.) is asleep. Henry in playpen (Ryan and I no longer feel bad about this. In fact, we're quite jealous. He's had his own bed this entire time. Lucky duck). Oliver (aka Snorts the Baby) beside me in bed #1, nightstand, Ryan and Angus (Snorts the Little Boy) in bed #2. No doubt everyone's dreaming of their own space/toys/beds which is just a hop, skip and a jump away!
TODAY'S GRADE: A (also in anticipation of our return home tomorrow!)
