One Summer Day At July 2019

Suddenly came a cold winter. Of course it was expected. :D But i think that this autumn was shorter than last year, and the cold came earlier. It takes a while to get used to this. That this cold and dark lasts many months again. Just because of that i suddenly started to remember couple of warm summer days at year 2019. One happening that especially came to my mind, was my good friends wedding, and then were a reaaaally hot hot summer day! And another memory of last summer was our trip to Ykspihlaja to spend time with Nikis godmother Jenna.

One especially summer memory was our summer trip to Kalajoki with kids and Aleksi. Especially i liked there that when we got out with baby at six am in the summer morning. I walked throught the forests and the baby slept in the prams. =) Then wasn`t warm at all, but its very nice walk at the places that you rarely spend time.

But that day, what came to my mind, was that when we went to have summer day with Jenna. That day was a normal sunday, and that sunday`s noon while Niki slept naps, i decided to go outside and drink cup of coffee, listening to music and breathing the sunshine. At some point baby woke up, we ate food, and i put everything ready that we can go out. We walked  all the way to Ykspihlaja. It was hot weather!!

Niki slept at the proms almost whole time. Jenna was wating for us when we get there. We decided to have a coffee at the Saha. It`s a most interested coffeehouse at our town. We been there before too, eating bakings and having coffee. There were kids swimming with their parents, but this time we stayed at the lawn, although Niki did go swimming many times in the summer.

When we had couple of coffee cups we decided to get pizza and visited to outdoor flea market. <3

 Niki slept in the shade around the corner of the pizzeria, so we had time to chit-chat and eat pizza. Over an hour we sat tin the sun and enjoyed the sun. We probably drank a hundred liters of water. :D 

We don`t have to walk back home, we went by car. 

It was such a lovely day <3 

Halloween 2019

We had Halloween costume party with Kasmir again on this autumn. The day before, we went shopping decorations to our parties. We found white tableclotch at fleamarket and decorations to Clas Ohlson. I baked carrot cake, apple pie, and liquorice cheesecake -baked good -somethings. :D They tasted good, but they looked weird. :D very weird actually. :D But maybe just because of that, they were perfect to Halloween!

At Saturday morning and noon we decorated our home with balloons, spider webs and we made bloody hand prints at the tableclotch with fake blood.

Kasmir `s costume on this year was dead man. he had black robe with silver tied belt. He looked pretty scary. Niki was the worlds cutest chili pepper. :D Its too funny to dress your baby as a vegetable. :D <3 I was doll this year. I had long white t-shirt dress, striped tights and extra super blatant blush. :D We orderesd Kasmir`s costume at the internet and he chose it there when we looked the options at the shop. At the babies costume page i saw chili pepper costume. 

We had time ate a little snack before the first guests arrived. 

Carrot cake was delicious <3 I have thought many times that i should make carrot cake in circular shape, and now i make it look like a pie. Taste was as good as always. Carrot cake and quark buns is deffinately best baked good that i know. <3 There were also cauliflower and paprika that could be dipped. Even though potato chips are the best, i like very much dip vegetables. But the lighter option is very nice sometimes. =) 

When skeletons and other guests left, i made liquoice chocolate drinks in our new skull glasses. Catarina , my sister send me recipe at this delicious drinks, but i made some own changes on it. For example, i left muscovado syrup out of it.

Liquorice Chocolate Drink

6 dl Oat Milk

 (You can do drinks whatever milk you want,= normal milk, soya milk, oat milk...) 

1 bar of Fazer London Caramel Chocolate

2 spoons dark chocolate powder 

Liquorice sauce 

Decorate:

Vanilla sauce 

Little marshmallows

Pour the oat milk into the kettle and heat it slowly. Chop the chocolate bar into the milk Melt the chocolate slowly in the milk and stir occasionally. Add the cocoa powder to the chocolate milk, and liquorice sauce. When all the chocolate has melted into the milk, oat milk is chocolate coloured and it has boiled, the hot drink is ready. Pour drink into the glasses. Whisk vanilla sauce on top of the drinks and a little bit of liquorice sauce. Drop the little marshmallows. You can use whipped cream instead of vanilla sauce. Neither of us dont like whipped cream, so i put vanilla sauce into this drinks. 

I got nice pictures of our parties. We could show them to baby when he grow up. I ate so much cakes, pizza, chocolate and everything on weekend, so that it `s only good that i got dance classes at week. :D
