Soccer and cupcakes

We had a very busy day today. It started off with some serious malfunctioning smoke detectors (as in, all smoke detectors in the house, garage, and basement going off simultaneously for no apparent reason). Since we couldn't turn them off, and couldn't figure out why they were going off, we had to call the fire department. Now we know that if there is ever a real fire we are in good hands - minutes later two engines and a police car, sirens blazing, showed up, and 8 fireman in full gear (axes included) were walking through our house. Henry will not stop talking about it for the next 5 years, I am guessing.

After that excitement, we had Henry's last soccer class (well, there are actually two more, but we will be gone the next two weekends, so effectively this is the last one for Henry). He is doing so well! He followed the drills, participated in the game, and even scored a goal!





After class we headed to a local playground for our friend Charlotte's 3rd birthday party! Our friend Sarah made gorgeous cupcakes:



That Henry thoroughly enjoyed:




Then, after playing in the sprinklers for a bit, Henry and Meredith did some climbing together:



Luckily, all the morning activity meant that Henry actually took a nap today!
