Too Busy for Fun?

 
Life is busy!  And from what I hear from parents with children older than my own, it is only going to get busier.


So here is my confession:  I was so busy last week that I forgot to have fun!   I was busy running errands, busy with appointments and busy with my To-Do List.  Busy, busy, busy….

But it just so happened that we were at a park last week, not because I had the fun idea of taking my kids to a park, but because it was our MOPS Blast day.  However, with the rain and the fact that I was going to be late, we spent most of the time at the park alone.  But what a hidden blessing!

Sweet Boy went down the tunneled spiral slide – the biggest one he had done yet.  But Sweet Girl was too timid.  So I, without thinking, asked her if she wanted me to go down with her.  Hmmm….then I began to wonder if this was a good idea or not  and if I’d even fit!  But down we went…over and over and over again.  It was so much fun and a great reminder to create those fun moments with my kids.
