our BoyMan- his birthday

i look at the following picture-
and i shudder....just a little,




because- there is no resemblance to our dimpled boy preschooler;
basically none to remind us he how he scooted like a monkey, instead of crawling traditionally,
no more permanent bruise mark on his arm- where he sucked on it- instead of a thumb...




no....notta...like mr.m's birthday morning prayer reflected-
this guy is a fast growing, tender-hearted, wild & passionate BoyMan.



our boyman decided to have a transformers birthday party, this year.
he chose the craft "it's more of a project, mom, not a craft thing"....




he helped me spray paint all the boxes,
and make the "laser eye holes".....




both sets of our grandparents were able to be there....
{such a treat & blessing to nboy & our family!}




the boyman "designed" the cake- and this mama managed to keep it limited it to a few transformers-
mr.m's vintage transformer took center stage.
but, there were lego men, an oversized iron man and a bucket of green army guys who were cut from the cake list....
mostly due to "weight limitations" {and maybe a little bit due to this mama's please!-keep-to-the-theme-obsession.}




he invited his own list of friends this year,
and they had a marvelous time shooting marshmallow guns at transformers bad guys posted to our fence.



a "peg the birthday boy with marshmallows" game...may or may not have followed.




and then an epic picture, of six year old boy, transformer proportions....
followed.





mr.m. prayed for our boyman- and his upcoming 6 year old year,....
and we then we ate cake.





nboy-
we're so thankful for you.
you're a joy to our family- a delight!
we love your dirt pit in our backyard, your tree climbing, your lego building,
your loving heart towards your sisters, and your heart for Christ.
{and, i also love how already reflect your ManDaddy, in so many ways.}

happy bithday, BoyMan.
