Bette: Mommy is fun at beach too, right?

Angelica: Lub you Momma.

Tina: Guess we have a nearly two year old politician on our hands.

Bette: Do you want some help with dinner?

Tina: No everything is prepped. I’ll just put the lasagna in the oven and cook the green beans. Do you want a salad too?

Bette: If it’s not too much trouble that would be great. I’m pretty hungry and I’d rather have some salad to fill me up than more lasagna.

Tina: Baby I love your hair cut. When did you do that?

Bette: Last night before dinner. Peggy loved it too, so maybe it’s a keeper? Thought I’d make a change for summer.

Tina: It really draws attention to your eyes and there’s still plenty for me to run my fingers through. Guess that’s something I’ll have to find too; a new stylist.

Bette: Took me some trial and error, but so far she’s been good for me.

Tina: Well, we’re home.

Bette: I’ll go up and change. Do you want us to help with dinner or would you rather I take her out to play?

Tina: Well dinner will take about 30 minutes to cook. Just take her out and I’ll come down after I’ve made the salad.

Bette: Have you used Giraffe yet?

Tina: We haven’t, its still in the trunk.

Bette: Then that’s what we’ll do while dinner cooks.

Bette quickly changes and she and Angelica head outside. Angelica is glad to see her old friend Giraffe and has fun riding. Bette makes herself comfortable in a chair in a perfect spot to watch Angelica ride. When she’s ready for the baby to turn around she just yells out and Angelica can now steer well enough to turn back. Tina can see them from the kitchen window and hear Angelica’s laughter through the screen.

Tina: Hey, dinner is ready.

Bette: We’ll be right up. We can eat in the kitchen tonight. Come on Boo, time for dinner.

Angelica: OK Momma.

She rides Giraffe over to the grass and Bette helps her off and brings Giraffe over to the patio to hang out with horsey. They head upstairs, get cleaned up and take a seat at the kitchen table. Tina has served their plates including a salad bowl for each. Angelica’s lasagna has cooled in the freezer for a bit.
