A Death Star, a Fireman Pole, and a 7yr old!

I now have a 7yr old!

climb

He asked for a fireman pole to be added to their fort for his birthday.

He said this way when they are fighting bad guys their are two ways to escape so he and his brother can both get away.

The Zipline and the fireman pole…

smile

I am glad he planned for this possibility.

gifts

We hauled the rest of his gifts from family up into the fort to open.

It is more fun and my brother and his wife did not have to go into our germy house(we have had colds).

geosafari

I am pretty excited to use this geosafari in our school.

bug

Thank you Mom for the scary bug thing that crawls along the floor…

deathstarcake

He requested a Star Wars themed birthday.

I looked on Pinterest for an easy cake design but all I found were elaborate creations that I could not even dream of making.

I did however find macaroons decorated like the Death Star!

So I put a little black food dye in the icing and tried my hand at it.

The dots were made with a toothpick dipped in black food coloring.

I was not sure about it at first but my son knew what it was so I calling it a success!

darthvadar

My oldest thought Darth Vadar should guard it.

eatcake

The birthday boy requested the Super Laser Dish part.

He got a real kick out of eating it.

I am excited to see what this year will bring!

Last Day as a 7yr old! I dropped the ball…

I realized today that my son turns 8 tomorrow.

I remembered his birthday at least but I forgot to take his birthday week pictures!!!

I have been taking a picture of my boys every day on the week before their birthday for 3yrs.

Except this year because I forgot!

what

I know!

Shocking!

who

and a bit terrifying…

happy

but at least I remembered on his last day!

smile

This kid amazes me in his ability to invent.

He decided to study anatomy today so that he could build a human like robot.

He has also taken up running and he is awesome!

Like a fish to water that boy runs like he was born to it.

almost8

He ran his first race this past year and loves the medals and “junk food” at the races.

I am pretty sure he is going to be my crazy ultra runner keeping up with his dad.

I am writing it here so I can come back some day and say that I called it!

I can’t wait to see what this soon to be 8yr old does next!
