It's raining....BOYS!!!

Eight....count em! Charlie, Joe, Trevor, Griffin, Elliot, Gavin, George & Micha...oh, and baby Clark makes nine but was too small to be subjected to this picture:)!

On Sunday we had all these boys over to our house to make ginger bread (ok graham cracker) houses! The boys (& mommies) are all friends from our great church, The Orchard. We've been getting together since the boys were little peanuts just sleeping quietly in their seats while us moms chatted about diaper brands and how the midnight feeding was going. I can tell you for sure that at this meeting there was no quiet and the chat time was in between herds of boys running by with bowls full of cheese balls and then you would have to re-gather your thoughts to finish your conversation about how to get a toddler to stay in their big boy bed or what kind of time out is working at your house! My how things have changed!

All in all the boys, moms & dads had a great time celebrating with each other and piles of candy to make some very colorful and interestingly constructed houses! We are so blessed to have such great friends and Griffin couldn't be more pleased when they are all at our house. For days now he has been saying "BOYS, BOYS!"! It's quite the disappointment when he wakes up and heads downstairs and they aren't all sitting at the table to join him for breakfast!
