Jimmy Johns, Meet Elai. Elai. . .wait! Stop! Oh, bacon. . .

So, the other night Michael and I decided it would be nice to go out to Jimmy Johns for dinner.  We were both craving sandwiches and well, we're lazy.
We grabbed the bubbs, dressed him up all cute, and took off. 
We got our food while Elai made faces with the employees behind the counter.  He tried to eat the stack of gift cards, but luckily we got them before they got slobbered on.
Elai is now eating a lot more of the food we eat, so he thinks anything we eat is his to eat, too.  Uh, no.  I am still too possessive over my food. 
Anyways, we got some bread so he could eat the mini pieces.  This wouldn't do for him, so he lunged across the table and grabbed the giant hunk o bread and stuffed it in his mouth.  If you haven't seen a lil one try and stuff his cheeks with half a loaf of bread, it is hilarious.  He was really good about just scraping the soggy parts into his mouth, so we let him at it.
Further into the meal, I took the bacon off my sandwich (too salty for me sometimes).  Oh, what does the cute boy do?  he grabs both pieces (one for each hand) and proceeds to slap my face with them.  Yes, I was baconated.  (it's a word, I promise. . .) All over my face and neck, then to the window and back to my face.  What does Hubby do?  Laughs.  I'll admit, I was laughing, too, but hey!  I just got bacon rubbed all over my face.  Not so hott.
The adventure continues as I realize Elai has lost a shoe.  Where is this missing shoe?  By the register.  Oops!  And by the time I find it his sock is missing too!  Seriously, kid?  Hahaha. 
Elai, meanwhile, is still stuffing his face with that bread at every conceivable opportunity.  He coughed a little and so we decided to give him some water from a water bottle.  I drank about half so he wouldn't spill.  WRONG.  The cuteness got DRENCHED!  He grabbed it and squeezed.  About half of what was left went all over his face and shirt.  He had this stunned look, then handed the bottle back to me.  I guess that's what I get for going for the cheap bottles!  hahaha
By the time we left, there were prints covering the window, crumbs everywhere, a water puddle on the floor, one exhausted mama, and a very happy little boy who probably thought he had the coolest parents ever to let him play with everything like that. 
*sigh*  Eating out with an 11-month old is difficult!  :D
