Gum Saves The Day

My Mom always tells the story about giving my older sister a pack of gum to keep her quiet. Well, I must say that it works! Yesterday I had to go to the DMV and the Social Security office. We were gone all morning. I bought a pack of Trident gum and it totally saved the day. The boys ate about half the pack of gum while waiting at both offices. Now I have to go clean out my purse of gum wrappers full of chewed up gum. Fun.

Oh yes, gum is the new "lifesaver" in our house :) Whoever falls asleep first wakes up to a piece of gum under her pillow from the gum fairy :)

Lainey had a big wad of gum stuck in her hair for weeks before the "big haircut of 07" :) I never could get it out, but Emily took care of that!
