A Day in The Life Of Tree

Ps 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Family Fun Day is something we do almost every Saturday, rain or shine.  This is the time that my husband and I devote to spending QUALITY time with our kids since the weekdays are usually filled with obligations such as school, church, work, up keep of the home.  Family Fun Day could be anything from going to the park, getting ice cream, playing in the kid’s play area at Burger King, going to the library, etc.  Family Fun Day does not have to be an expensive activity because its all about spending time and showing love.

My husband makes alot of sacrifices to make sure we have our Family Fun Day.  For example, my husband has to work every other Saturday to do payroll.  Today, since he knew that he wanted to help some of the men at the church paint and wanted to spend time with us he went to work at 4am.  He worked 4-9am, painted the church (9:30-12:00), and then came home to spend time with his family.

Today our Family Fun Day activity was to rake leaves.  I know it might sound lame, but our children enjoy the outdoors and they were able to help their dad and I while also playing in the yard.  We worked together as a family taking the occasional time out to play soccer:)  Here are some pictures I took of our Family Fun Day.

My “Tunky” (my son) and ‘Lil Momma” ( my daughter) working hard trying to beat the other to the

leaves (as if there wasn’t enough)

Daddy made a big pile of leaves for the kids to jump in.  Then he tried to covered their legs in it.

Daddy was think “FUN”, Mommy on the other hand was thinking “GERMS”.  They took a good bath

after all this fun.  Even “Munchie” (my baby) joined the fun!

“Tunky” took the broom from mommy so that the men could do the hard work!  What a gentlemen:)
