Graditude day #5 - Fun is what makes a Family

It is true, fun is the glue that makes family, family!
One of the things I absolutely LOVE Josh an his family is they always put fun first. Fun is the bond that keeps us coming back for more.

I had fun growing up, but I felt my parents were more so passive and preferred to sit in front of the TV . I do remember them doing fun things with us when I was younger, and those are the things I remember the most.

In my mind, money is not an issue. Priorities first - families are built on fun and togetherness. Being willing to play is so imoortant!! This is one thing I love about josh and something he will pass on to our children. My family was more serious and less playful. So I'm less playful. But I have a strong desire for playfulness. I'm just not as good at initiating it.

Today we finally got to experience family fun! Isabel is finally old enough to interact and play. We filled up the pool and Isabel kept climbing in. At first it was way too cold. So we just played around outside and the sun really warmed us up. She started trying to climb in (tried to put the chair in the pool ). So we let her. She actually enjoyed it!! She had a blast! Splashing and trying to get Papa back with the cup of water. She kept getting herself wet though! I secretly think she enjoyed it though. Even though she was surprised by it every time. Ohh.... It couldn't have been a mode perfect day outside. I also got to mow the lawn. I actually enjoy doing that. It's good exercise and good for getting sun.

10 for the day:
1. Mowing the lawn, that we have a yard to mow and I have a body that I can mow it with.
2. A free blow up pool, tarp, and toys and free things given to us!
3. A daughter that is fun and playful like her daddy <3 Could I love her more??
4. Protection from my angels.
5. Naps
6. Reminders that I need to take better care of my body... :)/:(
7. For realizing how stuck I am in a never ending cycle, learning from the hog that I need to face my fears and confront the lies I've been telling myself. For feeling like I'm trapped in this hole. It is making me feel the desire to pray and seek help.
8. Family bonding and laughing with my family.
9. That Isabel eats whole carrots!
10. For Isabel "speaking sentences. In her own way.
