Sunflower Seeds Baseball Treat

8.04.2015

Sunflower Seeds Baseball Treat // Sunflower Seeds Free PrintableSo my husband joined a men’s softball team. Yup. Every Tuesday night. While I know this is normal for a lot of men across America, I have to be a little honest. I was scared of the commitment. When he asked me if I thought he should play, I told him to do it. I just made sure he realized I wouldn’t be committing to coming every week. I’ve made just about the only sort of commitment I was ready for, which was marrying him. After that, I’m just not sure I have it in me. His team is on week four, and I haven’t made it to one game yet. Oops.

Before you go thinking about how mean I am, just know, I am clearly very busy. And by very busy, I mean: I have so many better things to do than sit on a bleacher and watch him make a fool of himself. Like watching Bachelor in Paradise, or washing my hair. Isn’t Extreme Weight Loss on tonight? Yeah. Thought so. I don’t think DVR works on those shows, so I guess I’ll have to stay home.

So in honor of missing week four, I made him a little treat to take to the park. This way, he knows how much I love him. Don’t worry, I’ll take clear-cut notes on Bachelor so he doesn’t miss anything. I mean, no one wants to miss Ashley crying. Again. Sunflower Seeds Baseball Treat // Sunflower Seeds Free Printable Tag

    It might make for a good comedy show…you should go and get him on video…especially when he “wins” the game.

    Ha! Love: “I don’t think DVR works on those shows.” ? I think my tv is the same way. So strange.

    Hahaha I definitely have the same commitment issues with after work activities… Or maybe I’m just committed to my tv shows…

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      8.05.2015 at 4:33 pm

      Hahaha I like to say it’s the commitment to the activities we don’t want to give. We don’t like admitting we have to watch the shows. 😉

Don’t spend today wishing for tomorrow. Find five Don’t spend today wishing for tomorrow. Find five things every night that you’re thankful for, and BE thankful for them. So much of our lives are spent waiting for the next best thing when in reality, it’s sitting right in front of us.
If there’s anything I’ve learned in this life, it’ If there’s anything I’ve learned in this life, it’s to SLOW DOWN.

So much of life is spent going, going, going. Waiting for the next stage. Telling ourselves, “Once we get through this, things will be easier.” Once the kids are older. Once life settles down. Once we have more time. But what if we’re missing the whole point? Because the moments we’re so eager to get through ARE the moments.

Today is the important stuff. The ordinary days. The messy days. The little conversations, the giggles, the routines, the chaos, the moments that don’t feel significant while we’re living them. We spend so much time wishing for the next chapter that we forget we’re already living one we’ll someday wish we could go back to.

So slow down.

Be here.
Pay attention.
Let the moment take as long as it needs to.

Because someday, these will be the days we miss.

**And if you know us personally, you know why I had to jump on this social media trend**
This is your permission slip to let the crafts be This is your permission slip to let the crafts be messy. 

They don’t need to match your house. They don’t need to be Pinterest-worthy. They don’t need to be made with a neutral color palette and a Cricut. They just need to be theirs.

Because someday I’m probably going to miss the paper scraps, the glue everywhere, the questionable color combinations, and the little masterpieces I had no idea what to do with. Let them make the ugly craft. Let them make a mess. Let them create something that looks nothing like what you had in mind.

Childhood doesn’t have to be aesthetically pleasing to be beautiful.

This is NOT a post to bash moms that are happy the This is NOT a post to bash moms that are happy their kids are going back to school. My neighbors and I commiserate all summer long about how long the days are, how frustrating the kids can be, how much they’re fighting, etc. 

But my days are always like that, and even though it’s exhausting and overwhelming at times, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Even if I only have ONE moment like this a day, it’s one moment a day I could miss out on if they were in a traditional school. 

So here’s to whatever choice you are making in regards to your kids education. What’s best for YOU is most important. And what’s best for us is this.

 to squish around. The Slime Prank Lab by @CrunchLabs
turns it into an activity. We spent the afternoon mixing the slime, experimenting with different textures, and (of course) testing out the ridiculously funny booger and fart pranks. 🤣

My girls were completely entertained, and I loved watching them create, experiment, and laugh together. It feels like pure fun for the kids, but there’s actually some pretty cool science and engineering behind it all, plus Mark Rober walks you through even more with the QR code inside the kit.

Who in your family would be the first prank target?

A core memory I didn’t know I’d be making… This w A core memory I didn’t know I’d be making…

This weekend at church, my daughter got to light the candles for the first time. At the end of the service, when she went up on her own to extinguish them, proud tears dropped from my eyes. And as I looked around at others, I noticed I wasn’t the only one. 

If you had asked me in my early to mid twenties, I wouldn’t have imagined how much this community, this faith, and these little traditions would come to mean to our family. There was a season of my life, long before I became a mom, where I drifted away from actively going to church. Now, getting to watch my girls grow up surrounded by faith, love, and a church family who knows them and celebrates them feels like such a gift.
