A long one, even.
This is because I'm lucky enough to be on one perpetual, never ending (well, not yet anyway) weekend here.
Since wrapping up school in December, I've struggled to keep track of the days and have been permanently switched to holiday mode.
I like it.
I like me, liking it.
Our 'official' weekend kicked off on Friday with our annual street party to celebrate Christmas, New Year, fabulous neighbours, sunshine, food, alcohol, clean air, clear water or anything else you might like to toast.
On Saturday we sang hymns of praise (that may have included some profanity) that Magoo was indeed a well boy again and we could venture down to join friends at their holiday home for New Years Eve.
Once again, we celebrated all the goodies life has to offer - including shiny ones like sparklers, fireworks and glow sticks. We continued to consume enough food and drink to cater for a small nation and laughed ourselves stupid with great people who were embracing 2012 with open arms.
On Monday, we had ourselves a gorgeous little family day at the zoo, some driveway chalk graffiti action (with plenty of H), a quiet bbq and the 'de-Christmassing' of our place.
Holidays are heavenly.
Are yours treating you kindly too?
Linking with Mandy's Sentimental Summer series.

I just LOVE not having to think about the days... it has been that way around here for weeks too! Having hubby on holi's means that both of us going into shutdown mode and we pretty much just think about meal times and little else ;o)
