Seat belt Pillows and Fun With Gel - February 8, 2012

Wednesday - February 8, 2012
I call these seat belt pillows.  The kids are so excited about their seat belt pillows.  The kids could hardly wait to go somewhere in the car now that the seat is nice and they have seat belt pillows.  I promised Alissa and Parker that I would pick them up from school today so they could ride in the car.  Brinley couldn't wait to go and pick them up.  She came home from school, ate lunch, then begged me to take her to get Parker and Alissa.  Since school wasn't out for them yet, we went to the store and walked around until it was time to go get them.  They all enjoyed having a pillow to ride with.  Parker was fussy when he got out of school, because he couldn't find his folder.  He calmed down a little when he got out to the car and was able to snuggle with his pillow.   We stopped at the Family dollar on our way home and bought valentines for the kids to give to their classmates.
Here's Brin being a goof and showing us how her pillow works.
  I bought some gel at the store so we could try a little thing I saw on Pinterest.  We put gel in a gallon bag, added food coloring, and taped it to the table to play with it.  I think the most fun was mixing the colors in.  After that was done, Parker and Brinley removed the tape and had fun squishing it in their hands.  Then we decided to add some glitter and beads.  They had fun mixing that in also.  Parker and Brinley added some beads in theirs also.  We had fun.  Parker and Brinley are storing theirs in the refrigerator to use as a cold pack when they get hurt.  Alissa wanted hers to stay out so she can still play with it.
