Something different

A bit of a different make for you today, My eldest son had a mate to sleep over last night and did they mess about. To say they are both almost 15 in age, it was like having Bobby and a group of four year olds. It was 4.30am before I got any sleep, everytime they thought we were asleep they would sneak downstairs, raid the cupboards, put music on, and lots more. This went on till about 4.15am this morning. Banging about, up and down stairs, until they had everyone in the house up including Bobby. By hell they got the length of my tongue, I was so angry. No more sleepovers in my house, they are banned.
So I was up at 6.30 to see the hubby of to work, then Bobby was up at 7.00 am, so I cracked on with the ironing and some other bits of housework. Then got the urge to bake and it passed an hour.


Here are some of the dozen scones I baked, just plain this morning as the kids don't like them with fruit in. I think they turned out nice and fluffy due to me taking my anger out on the scone dough rather than Scott Lol!


Then I decided to do the kids favourite Flapjack, I know by the time I go to bed tonight and John and the kids have had flapjack for supper there will not be a crumb left.


So today I am gonna concentrate on DT work, and try to get round some of your lovely blogs, ladies.
Have a good day
Happy crafting

OMG Tracy, I remember those days when my son did that. They would be going to sleep as I was getting up!!
Unfortunatly I am on a diet and cannot beg you to send me any Flapjack. I make it aswell and my lot love it, I am not a scone person but when I make them my kids like me to put cheese in some of them too.
Would you like my American Tea Bread recipe? (It's a bit like a fruit cake, but nicer)
It's brilliant 'cos there is no fat in it and it's all measured with a cup! Simples!

I remember 'sleepovers'...though why they are called that I don't know....as you've found out....nobody gets any sleep!!The first of many for you,I expect!!

Hi Tracy I hav't been on your blog before but was over on Lil Daffodil(she is my auntie) and I saw the picture of your scones so decided to pop over and have a look. They look delicious and your cards are pretty too. Hope you manage to get an early night and catch up on some sleep. I have banned sleepovers in my house and I hope I don't ever meet the person who invented them. Love Carol xx

Mmm, Looks so yummy. :) I know what you mean about sleep-overs. I always dread when my sons want to do them. Once they are teens it's so much harder to get them to settle down for the night. I finally told my boys we will only have sleepovers for special occasions such as their birthdays.

Sally H said...

Oh bless you, hun! We have only had one sleepover and they were very well behaved between twelve and eight! Your scones look delicious. hope you are tucked up in bed as I write this catching some well earned zzzzzzz

Sally H said...

sorry, meant to say your flapjack looks delicious too!

Oh Tracey I have been there so many times in the past I think sometimes boys are worse than the girls. I often used to have to shout to my son to stop talking or having fights I always said 'never again' but always gave in lol. As for those scones and flapjacks they look yummy, yummy

Hi Tracy

Sounds all a bit too familiar.

Baking looks yummy. I make a lot of flapjack, althouhg not quite as much as I used to. Our eldest loves it and most days took some to school for his lunch. Gradually I was making more and more until I started questioning him.

Turned out he was selling it on the school bus - he called it free enterprise and it became known as "Genuine" - because he friends used to ask if it was genuine from his Mum. It's still known as that now.

Oh dear Tracy .. .. sounds like those lads are lucky to be alive let alone banned from future sleepovers LOL!!!

Love Jules xx

Well they look scrummy Tracy. I also suffer when my 15yr daughter has friends to stay. They now have to sleep in the conservatory on the sofa bed as they don't go bed much before 3am and my hubby has to be up at the crack of dawn to. So totally sympathise.
