I got back from my quick trip to Montreal on Tuesday. And, as if to remind me why I left in the first place, this is what the ride home from the airport looked like in the back seat.
Notice Nicholas having one of his patented Freak-Out-Melt-Down-And-Dirty-Scream-O-Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong fits. This one went on for 45 minutes. [...]
