Don't you just love it when your birthday lasts more than one day? I know I do. Spreading out the celebrations over a couple of days really makes it feel special. So our little tribe kept the party going with the promised trip to the cupcake shop.

| Cupcake shop. Henry chose a Turkish Delight cupcake. |
 |
| Milly's choice was a Triple Chocolate. |
We had never been to the cupcake shop
Cupcake Espresso before. Why would we? I love to bake and always make sure my muffins etc are healthy versions of otherwise sweet cakes. This really was a special treat. It was a cute little galley-style cafe with mouthwatering cupcake flavours on offer. The kids tucked into their cupcakes but after a few mouthfuls they had had enough and wanted to go home. The cupcakes were yummy but very rich for them and they wanted to save them for later in the day. Michael and I took some home for later too (a Lemon Meringue, a Salted Caramel, and a Peanut Butter Chocolate). I have to say these cupcakes were the best I've ever eaten.
Once home it was time to get Buster to bed so the play could begin. Milly was keen for me to play Barbies with her because Barbie was going to get married. Henry was keen for me to help him build his Lego Star Wars spaceship, but when he realised Michael wasn't working and he was free he wanted his Dadda to partner with him.

Done and dusted until next year, with Boo turning three in November. Happy Birthday H&M.
