Domestic Outburst!

Teen 3 is boarding with friends of ours who live much closer to the school.  Now it only takes her half an hour to get to school and she is home from school at 4pm instead of 5pm.  Our friends have four teenagers of their own and now - as of last week, they have five teens who go to three different high schools and all have to get out of the door early... oh and mum and dad both work in the city too.

I can only imagine how busy it is in their home each morning.  By contrast now ours is remarkably quiet with just teen 2 at home during the week.  I told teen 2 after we had dropped teen 3 off at our friends, that it was up to her to make all the noise now since the two noisy siblings have both gone (teen 1 aka young adult is off being independant).

In an attempt to contribute to our friends who have our teen 3 and for feeding their tribe school snacks, we got busy in the kitchen this morning.
Butterscotch biscuits

Yep and if all that productivetity isn't enough... pumpkin Rissotto done in the crock pot for dinner.
  Yummo.

Wow Dee...looks like you've been busy. Funny..I'm home with teen 5 and he's being much quieter than usual. (15). Teen 3 and 4 are away on trips. (Teen 1 and 2 are married and not teens anymore--hurrah!)

I told Christian, our youngest, that God must have made him noisy to make up for the rest of the kids when they are out of the house. Too funny!

Love your photos.

Wow, not only did you bake a whole heap of yummy stuff, you're planning for it to go out of the house without being totally devoured--that's quite a feat!

Yummmmy - As the recipient family of the baking goods I can assure you all that not one biscuit will be wasted!! Hubby and I will have to fight all 5 teenagers just to ensure we actually get to taste anything!

The cookies look so tempting. I'm on a no-cookie diet right now but I'm hoping my kids will want to make some instead of playing computer games all day.
