I cooked these cake pops for Julie's birthday party, which we celebrated in the open air. Because in Russia these pops are not well known, many have asked me about the recipe :3

What we need:
300g butter cookies
50g soft butter
150g cream cheese
sugar powder
chocolate
topping

Blend cookies.
Mix butter, sugar powder and cream cheese.
Mix well with cookies.
From this "dough" make small balls and put them in freezer for 30 min.
*after 30 min* join balls with sticks.
Melt chocolate.
Dip every ball into chocolate and then sprinkle with topping.
Put cake pops in a fridge.
15 minutes before serving put them out from the fridge.
* you can use polystyrene for holding your cake pops by sticking their wooden sticks into the polystyrene. :3

outdoor birthday party

Our friends' daughter Julie turned 3 and they decided to celebrate outside: where birds sing and squirrels jump :3

We had a great day! Little K hunted bugs and put them in toy cars ( oh my!), Little M very much liked the swing and all invited kids took turns swinging him. :)

Mosquito bitten but satisfied, we made it back home.
All next day our boys were asking me about going to the birthday party again :3
happy kids. happy parents.

All April I have been growing seeds of different plants for our tiny garden on the balcony. I really want to grow something by myself!:) Summer in Saint Petersburg is so short and cold, so hopefully we will have time to taste the strawberries and peas which I have grown and our flowers will have time for blossoming.
So as to not forget what you are growing and also to decorate your garden, one can make simple pot
labels.

all we need:
thin wooden sticks
saw
plastic cards
superglue
sandpaper
black acryl paint

1. saw sticks of the correct height 2.Using sandpaper, sand the plastic cards, taking care not to forget the corners. 3. paint the card 4. glue the stick to the card. 5. draw, using chalk (be careful because the paint can peel off)
