Walt's Birthday (More Than Meets the Eye)

The boys planned Walt's birthday this year. They were so excited about Transformers that they just had to give him an Optimus Prime cake. He also recieved the shirt he is wearing in the picture. He asked early in the day if he was getting anything that wasn't about Transformers. "Yes," I said, "one thing." We gave him Eletronic Battleship, which to date Ethan has used more than Walt!
Also in honor of the birthday, Walt brought home his Transformers collection. I think to date, he has about 90 of them!!! He keeps them at work. This keeps the kids from breaking them and me from going crazy looking at them. I think this is part of his Peter Pan complex. If anything this collection is keeping him young and connected to our boys. We invited over another family whose dad is crazy about Transformers, and has given his two sons a devotion to them much like our family. It was funny to see the dads play, the kids watch on in awe, and the moms enjoy motherly conversation. It was a good day.
The Optimus Prime cake up close in it's full glory!
