Today was our firefighter's birthday.

And he spent it in true firefighter fashion...

on the Interstate, from 2 a.m. on, as part of the Rock County Hazmat team, dealing with a large chemical spill.

So exciting.

And tiring.

And maybe not real festive?

E and I spent the day in a much more mediocre and yet still productive way.

We baked a birthday cake.

So come tomorrow, after naps and naps and maybe more naps, when we execute a full blown birthday-re-do, he will have something a little sweet, a little decadent and more than a little deserved to dig in to.
