The week leading up to Valentine’s Day has been pretty sweet.
Here’s a look at our life lately…
Every. Single. Night.
Walking home after school with my kiddos is my favorite time of the day. Ironically, the following two hours of the day are my most frantic (homework, dance, basketball, laundry, cook dinner, more laundry…). We enjoy the walk home…and then the crazy begins!
100 year old Smith on the 100th day of school :).
My friend Courtney told me to put dry shampoo in his hair to turn it gray…and it worked! It even lasted all day (which surprised me). Isn’t he the cutest little old man?!?!
Post basketball brunch at our favorite diner on the square.
Ski shop shenanigans. Take one.
Take two.
Take three.
Smith.
Sigh.
Our local ski shop is right next door to our local candy store…win, win.
They are crazy.
This picture of them before church could not sum them up better. Kensington is loving on Lucky (of course!). Ashby is just being cute and happy and Smith…is being Smith.
On Monday, I took Bowen and Ashby to Chick-fil-a for lunch while Erika ran some errands. These two are just so much fun! They wanted three dipping sauces…and proceeded to put each bite into all three before consuming it.
Can you see how hard they’re laughing? Our table was right up next to the glass and it was just the two of them in the play area. They were laughing so hard at each other. I thank the Lord every single day that Ashby has Bowen.
On Tuesday, it was “take something you love” to school day…and Ashby picked Pony. This is her favorite toy. Uncle Sean and Aunt Catherine gave it to her for Christmas. She was so excited to bring Pony to school! (Side note: it’s a unicorn but no one tell her that. #shewantsittobeapony)
On Tuesday, Smith came home from school excited to teach me how to square dance (they’re learning in PE since the family Valentine’s Dance is this Friday night). This picture (taken by Kensington) sums it up…he thinks I’m doing it wrong. We were laughing so hard! I remember taking square dancing lessons in elementary PE! According to Smith…I don’t remember any of it :).
So, that’s a bit of life lately!
On my foodie blog today…

Narci says
Ashby with Pony is just precious!! Also, love their personalities in that Sunday pic!! So cute!!
Erika Slaughter says
Hahahaha!!! Bowen gets his love for a good condiment from me!! In college, I survived by dipping whatever the cafeteria had in a condiment of any kind.
Sheaffer {Pinterest Told Me To} says
Grandpa Smith is the cutest thing I ever did see! And B and A together really are just the sweetest thing to watch!

Hahaha smith! Too cute
Aubrey says
That last picture with Smith! Presh. Just presh.
And Kensington's coat! I tried SO HARD to get my girls to agree to wool coats this year, but they point blank refused. (They wanted puffer coats with fur. Lord have mercy.) I was just about to ask Kensington to have a serious style convo with Ella and Kate…and then I noticed her tartan leggings WITH her tartan coat!!! Maybe we'll wait a few years on that style consult. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Cassie {Hi Sugarplum} says
I mean, really, could any of you be any cuter?!?!?!?!?
Melanie Smith says
Yeah….all unicorns, ponies, and horses are just horses to my niece. They're too cute at that age.

Love your family! Love your top in that line dancing pic with Smith! Can you share where it's from? Thanks!
kelly says
Love your life lately!! Ashby looks so pretty and grown up in the pic with her pony! Such a cute, cute fam ♡
Brandi says
Smith looked adorable for the 100th day!! This is why I have a love/hate relationship with dry shampoo. I would love someone with dark hair to recommend a brand that doesn't leave me looking 100.
Megan says
The pic of Smith teaching you to dance is the best!!!!
Bethany K says
What brand of dry shampoo did you use… My daughter has her 100 day party next week?
Mix and Match Mama says
I used Batiste!!
Molly Hammond says
Dry Bar has a version for brunettes! I love it!
Leigh (Balancing By Faith) says
I love, love, love the picture of you and Smith dancing!! So fun – my kiddos learned square dancing too and they had SO much fun showing me their moves!!
Mandii M says
Old man Smith is the absolute cutest!! The dry shampoo was a great idea!!
Andrea Bermes says
In that picture of you and Smith dancing… where are your jeans/shirt from?! I thought that it was the new gap sweatshirt you just ordered but the stripes look a little thicker here.
