The Yardstick Gang

Gabe and I hosted some of our friends for a play date. We live in between a few of our friends, so it seemed like the perfect place to meet. The four boys had a ball just running around the house and exploring all the many rooms with toys, while the moms chatted away.

When I told Dave about the fun day we had and how the boys were running around and (slightly) terrorizing our cat he gave them a nickname. So without further ado, here is The Yardstick Gang (as in under 36inches)...


And their wake...

The 'gang' and their moms are welcome anytime, and hopefully over the summer we can add some more!

Hey, I recognize all of those cuties! How fun - they look like they had a blast. Love the nickname!

Kris said...

Great nickname! That was so much fun. Thanks for hosting, Joanna.

I actually thought about that room after we left and the mess the boys made. I wish we could have helped clean up, but I don't think that was going to happen with the gang around! Whew! They are a busy bunch.

love the name! we loved hanging out and can't wait to do it again! Cohen slept most of the way home, he was so tired.

and sorry about the mess - it occurred to me later! tell G he can make a mess at our house anytime :).

Looks like a fun time!

OMG, that's hilarious. But all I could think of when I saw the pic of all of them was F4. Hee hee.

SO cute!!! That's the kind of gang we need more of in this world!

Colleen said...

Love the gang name! Certainly gave me a giggle! What cute boys. Love seeing them all together.
I'm embarrassed to say, that Noah makes a bigger mess than that all by himself! And he's not real big on clean-up yet, not matter how much I sing while doing it. :)

Love it and love those kiddos! I love the nickname but then when I saw Elizabeth's comment, I almost died. It IS like F4 in the flashbacks!

The Yardstick Gang...Ha! That's perfect. They are quite the group for sure!
I love how my son is sprawled across the step. Is it that hard to just sit for 5 seconds?!
I, too, forgot about the mess...next time we'll be sure to pitch in and help!

So cute! If the gang feels that they need a little female influence, Opal would love to join them this summer once school is out and mommy is free for a couple months!

This is so cute!!

Christy said...

So awesome for your kids that you all get together! I hope as we get further in the process we're able to connect with some other families too!
Thanks for the beautiful pictures and wonderful inspiration!

Kara said...

Awesome!!!! Is it bad that my house usually looks like that too after my two boys have gone to bed? The Yardstick Gang is an awesome name!

"Yardstick Gang" - love it! I notice that we have the same bins from I*kea. It is good to know that the bins can handle an under 36 inches gang:-)
