Elevate Me Later


This morning I made Olivia a sensory bag. It's pretty easy. You just squirt a bunch of hair gel into a ziploc bag, add food coloring, stir it around, and seal it up. It's fun for little ones to poke and squish. They can also practice tracing letters on it.  


Olivia thought it was neat. I'd love to make a giant sensory bag for the backyard. Doesn't that look fun? Maybe some day!


Later we went to a playground. Jackson said he needed to climb to the very top of the bars so he could get a good view of everything. He stayed up there for quite awhile.


Jackson wasn't the only one seeking higher elevation.


Before coming home, we stopped at Polvo's. I had my usual, avocado salad. Their new location in North Austin needs to work out some kinks with their service, but the food was great as always.


Any big plans for the weekend? Have a good one!

  3. Polvos has the best salsa. Yum. And Olivia is beautiful. I love the pleasant summer we are having here so far. I hope we don't have a drought and fires like last summer. It was awful.
