Long Weekend Success

Thanks to a national holiday on Thursday and Big Chief's company taking Friday as a vacation day as well, we're blessed with a four-day weekend together. Two days into it, I think we've come up with some pretty great ideas for Long Weekend Success.

1. The night kicking off the weekend, dress up like a pirate and have a sword fight with Captain Hook.

















2. Finally (mostly) learn how to pedal your bike ... even though it's two years old and now you're nearly too big for it and Mommy and Daddy essentially wasted $150 / £100 on it. But never mind, be happy about it. I mean, seriously, check out that smile!



































3. Show off your skills at football/soccer.













4. Make Daddy take you for flying spins on the grass until you both get dizzy and walk at an angle.













5. Use Daddy as your personal climbing frame.









































6. Spend some quality time gettin' crafty (you're amazing, my artsy Big Chief!)



























7. Admire Mom's new herb garden













8. When the afternoon 'heat' kicks in (you know, all of 71 degrees), allow yourself to indulge in a cold frosty one.....



































.... and then really chill out .....

















...but be aware, there may be a fee to pay for Mommy Reclining Services.

















9. If it all gets to be too much, escape to your own little hideaway (I know I'm biased, but zoom in on this picture .... is this kid model quality or WHAT?!)

















10. Above all, let sleeping bears lie. Sometimes Winnie the Pooh has tough weeks out in the wild, and if not allowed to hibernate...can risk becoming a grizzly. Sssshhhhh!!!!!!













After all this, we still have two more days to go. Bring. It. On.
