~1st day of 8th grade~

~first shave~

School starts tomorrow and Dad looked at Stephen's furry face and said, "It's time to shave!"

Dad got a new shaver and Stephen got Dad's hand-me-down.

Apparently, shaving is ticklish stuff!

Such concentration! :)

Smooth as a baby's bottom! {He'd love to know I said that!}

This growing up stuff is rough on Momma! ;)

~Not a FAN Friday~

Virgil picked up some fabric softener for us because we were running low.

We always buy downy (pink lid, thank you.)

He grabbed the one pictured above. "Oh well," I thought, "I can live with it for 60 loads."

WRONG.

I'm officially NOT A FAN of Mountain Spring scented Downy.

Smells like Irish Spring soap.

Not a fan of Irish Spring soap either.

Is the Irish Spring commercial the one that the people's eyes pop open because they are so refreshed from the scent of the soap?

They're really thinking, "What the hell is that sour grass smell?

Reminds me of when the dog eats grass...

and then does #2 in the house.

So, yep, I don't recommend Downy Mountain Spring fabric softener.

Not at all.

~stephen's feet~

Just a quick little share:

On the way home from San Antonio yesterday, we stopped at the San Marcos Outlet shops to buy Stephen some shoes for school.

We had to get a size FOURTEEN!

I guess that adage, "Act your age, not your shoe size!" won't work on him for a bit! ☺
