Nothing Like A Tea Party

to end the weekend.

After a fun filled weekend, Jenaya & Kai decided that a tea party, well not exactly a tea party - a hot chocolate party - doesn't sound the same but we think taste's better. Anywho, we jumped on the phone and invited our very very good friends over, Abbey & Ysobel. Part of the deal though was that Noodle, Kai, Absta & Izzy all had to help bake everything that they wanted to eat....

Well they formed teams - Team One well this team contained the sensible children (well most of the time) Noodle & the Absta, they decided that scones would be their choice, with warm strawberries and cream (not that either of them liked cream ??) of to work they went.

Team Two - this would more commonly be known us the not so sensible team, made up of Monkey Boy & Izzy - the party girl, their choice lemon cupcakes with blue & green icing some with sprinkles some with out ummmmmm.

Then there was the dark horse team - Team Mum, my choice pikelet's with fresh strawberries and cream.

The kitchen was buzzing, there was flour flying (and I do mean flying) everywhere, eggs being cracked, sugar being measured, spoons being licked. The first in the oven was the scones, while they were cooking a mean game of handball was taking place in the back yard - Moose being the umpire, that went well. He had no control of the game at all. Back to the kitchen, the scones were cooked, the first lot of cup cakes went in. The icing need to be made for the cupcakes but hence team two (the not so sensible ones) had gone missing - something about in Kai's room playing his drum's - were is the commitment ?? Lucky the sensible team stepped up the green icing was made and on the cakes. They looked delicious...... the crazy ones did return to the kitchen just in time to do their blue icing with sprinkles. The scones, the cupcakes, the pikelet's & the hot chocolate's (2 with whipped cream, 2 without), well not really hot hot, maybe just warm - remember where we live, anywho all was ready let the afternoon tea begin.

We all had such a fun afternoon, so much food so little time and I think all the sugar has only just worn off.
