"Big League Chew"

So, once again we have travelled beautifully. Shelby has been a dream in the car. And although we hardly ever stopped while we were in New Orleans, and Landon, you were utterly exhausted, you too did great. Until the Big League Chew. We stopped in Natchitoches, only an hour from our arrival back home, to potty, nurse Shelby, and get a few snacks of our own. You got some Mike & Ike's and a pouch of Big League Chew bubble gum. You were so very patient while you waited for Mommy to finish with Shelby and so happily got back into the car again. We were on the road again for about fifteen minutes, when it occurred to me that now might be a good time to check and see if you were ready to spit out the cud of gum that I was sure was flavorless by now. When I turned to ask if you were ready, I could not believe my eyes!

Not to mention your hands, the carseat, and a little on your (horror!) Pooh Blank!! I had to pull the car over to gather myself, retrieve the car, and try to get the gum off of you and the seat to the best of my ability. Luckily, when we got home, Poppie knew just what to do. We put the car in the freezer, and he scraped and "Goo-Gone-d" it until it was good as new. So here it is prior to the clean-up job:
