Kept a bag of sugar candies in the car for first kid to get in, fully dressed (snowsuit & all). First kid also got the front seat. It worked. But daughter's school told me she was pushy & competitive & tried to race the other kids on the way out to recess.

Made it home. Survived US airport chaos, a government shutdown, unscheduled stay in fleabag hotel in NJ.
Canada never looked so good.
