Girl Time

Gramma Sue was here visiting for a couple of weeks, and she and Marci got to spend some quality girl time together.

Wrigley enjoyed the girl time, too!

Rain, Rain, Go Away . . .

. . . only to come back the very next day! Ugh. It rained again on Sunday. It seems like we've had more rain in the past ten days than we've had all summer! Osten helped finish up with breakfast, and we were off to give our new church a try. After lunch and naps were done, the rain started to do its thing again. Daddy was trying to finish getting the bonus room straightened out while the rest of us had some rainy-day fun in the kitchen.


Since crayons and markers are not all that exciting anymore, we broke out the finger paints and watercolors for an art extravaganza!

Marci's not quite old enough to be in touch with her artistic side as of yet, especially since she puts most everything right into her mouth. But she was due for her afternoon snack, so she happily gummed some crackers and watched the artiste at work.

Hiatus

Dear Devoted Blog Readers,

LicketySplit Kids is on a temporary hiatus, but please don't abandon ship! We'll be back (and better than ever!) once Mommy has recovered from our recent move. We've been in the house two weeks now, and we're happy to report that we have found our computer! Now we just need to find the time (and motivation!) to get it hooked back up. Hopefully, we'll be up and running in about another week. Mommy is going through some serious blogging withdrawal, but without the computer as a distraction she is accomplishing lots of other small tasks around the house. (And goodness knows, there are lots and lots of things to be done to get us all situated in the new digs!) Anyway, please stay tuned for lots of pictures of us in our new place. Since we haven't been posting, we have lots of new pictures to share!

Sic 'Em, Sister!

In a rare moment, Osten recently shared his coveted Georgia helmet with his little sister.

Sic 'em, sister!

And Then There was One . . .

. . . highchair, that is. Osten sits in a booster seat now. How did this happen??!! When I requested two highchairs at Applebee's this weekend, Osten proudly announced that he wanted to sit in a booser.

Well, we at least still have one child who is agreeable to being strapped in at mealtime! Safety strap aside, Marci has certainly kept things interesting lately with her new table trick of stuffing an entire wagon wheel in her mouth and then patiently sucking on it until it dissolves.

Perspective

I wonder if this is what Mommy means when she says that life is all about perspective??!!

Break-Away Rim

In between packing and moving this weekend, Osten played a little ball with FaFa, who taught him how to hang from the rim . . . Hey, isn't that a technical foul??!!
