Oh happy Thursday to YOU! Today is a fun day for us because we’re going to take the kiddos out of school an hour early and head to the State Fair of Texas! This is one of our very favorite fall traditions!! So needless to say, that will be my #shayeveryday2014 for today ;).
Day 274: Happy October 1st! We celebrated by wearing our Halloween tees to school :).
I also liked these pics too…
silly kids 🙂
Day 275: This is my PSA to make sure you’re getting your annual skin checks by a dermatologist. I get them done every year and this year, they found two spots that on this day were removed (that’s me waiting for my back to numb before they removed them). Right now, I’m walking around with two nice areas of stitches and then next week…I get more. One of the areas came back unusual, so they’re going back in to take a larger sample. Skin checks friends! Skin. Checks.
Day 276: Smith got his first pair of cowboy boots :). Andrew and I are not boot people. Neither one of us has a pair and most likely never, ever will…but Smith has been asking for some for quite a while, so I did what any normal city mom does…took him to Nordstrom to get some ;).
Later that night, we went to dinner with Andrew and Kensington and he told me he wanted to dress like a serious cowboy…
…bahahahaha! How cute is he???? This is his “serious cowboy” face. Love it!
Day 277: Another Saturday, another Oktoberfest! We love us some Oktoberfest fun!!
Day 278: Before church selfie! Can you find Kensington? She wanted to “hide” in this picture. It’s like Where’s Waldo :).
After church, they sat like this for almost two hours and watched Wizard of Oz on the iPad. I love, love, love how much they love each other (most of the time).
Day 279: Oui. I just loved reading How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are! This is a quirky little book full of tips, ideas, and insights into the Parisian woman. If you have a love affair with French culture like I do, you’ll love it. If you don’t, you probably won’t ;). Oui!
Day 280: After school, I told them they had 30 minutes of down time before Kensington left for dance and Nixon came over to play with Smith…they picked sitting next to each other on the kitchen floor playing ABC Mouse. They’re always together :).

Smith's "serious cowboy" is hilarious! That cowboy hat looks like it's been through the ringer. And the pics of the kids in their halloween outfits are precious!

I DEFINITELY took advantage of those loft deals!!!
Mimi says
Move over Clint Eastwood, there's a new cowboy in town! (And he's much cuter!)
Denise Holthaus says
Thank you Shay!! I'm so glad you mentioned getting yearly skin checks! My mom passed away from stage 4 melanoma last year and this is a very real and dangerous Cancer. Our family has started a Foundation in her honor to spread awareness. Thank you!
Janet says
The serious cowboy melts my heart. Thanks for the push to make a dermo appointment. I have been putting it off for ages.
Sarah says
we are going to the state fair too today!! If some crazy girl in a blue shirt says hi, its a girl named Sarah from McKinney! 🙂
Sarah says

Katherine says
Where did you get that adorable blue gingham shirt in the picture with the leopard belt and shorts?? LOVE IT! so cute!! I'm looking for a good gingham print shirt for the fall!
Annie Cox says
I love Smith in his cowboy boots and hat. I was on the fence about cowboy boots but picked up a pair while in Nashville over the summer. I am coming to Dallas next week and looking forward to wearing them again.
Melissa Watkins says
Cowboy Smith is so cute! Does his shirt say Pismo Beach? That's where we vacation during the summer!

We had a great time at our local fair and I MIGHT have had a funnel cake. No regrets!!
