But it sure doesn’t taste good. And we would know.

What am I talking about? Shaving cream of course.

Keaton was supposed to take two cans of shaving cream with him to Colorado. This is because they had planned a shaving cream party [fight] on the last night. However, we forgot to send the shaving cream with him. Lee doesn’t use shaving cream. I don’t use shaving cream. So what were we going to do with these two cans of shaving cream we bought.

After some thought we decided we’d use them for what we bought them for; a shaving cream party [fight]. So while Keaton was gone I went out and bought three more cans of shaving cream [including a nice raspberry cream for Skyler].

Since Justis leaves bright and early in the morning for New Jersey, tonight was our only night to enjoy a good frothy fight.

At first I tried to stay clean using the excuse that we couldn’t get shaving cream on the camera. And I kept the camera on my eye the whole time.

But then Lee got in to it and got covered in shaving cream and I was getting jealous.

So after the kids snuck up on me and got shaving cream in my hair, it was ON.

Everybody was covered from head to toe. Our neighbors were looking at us like we were crazy. “Honey, come look at the looney neighbors across the street.”

Once we ran out of shaving cream [which was about an hour later because it takes a while to go through five cans of shaving cream] we all dove in to the pool. Yes, fully clothed. And by that time it was starting to get dark and the pool was c-o-l-d! But once we were in it was fine.

We did leave a huge mess in our yard though. Lee had to pull out the hose to rinse away the shaving cream from the sidewalk [and our neighbors yard...ooops].

We also had to drain the pool. I don’t think anybody wants to swim in a pool filled with shaving cream water. And that was a little too much for the pump to clean out on its own.

But we had a great time. We might have to have more shaving cream fights in the future. Or maybe next time we’ll use whip cream. At least that would taste better.
