Liz?

Tina looked down the hallway and shrugged when she didnt see Liz come barreling down the hallway to answer the door. Usually Liz was the first person at the door whenever the bell rang but today not even a peep. Tina opened the door and smiled at Alice and Dana who were standing there laughing about something as they came into the house.

Hey guys

Hey Tina

Hey Twheres my goddaughter?

Tina just kind of shrugged in response to Alices question. Liz had been acting bummed all weekend, even during the fair when Tina had taken her around and tried to cheer her up. Liz did catch some pretty good cracks for putting the stickers all over her room and even more for doing the same thing to Skys so Tina just assumed she was sulking about that. Liz still hadnt appeared after Al and Dana had come in so Tina went and yelled down the hall.

LIZ?

Liz came walking out soon after that looking kind of glum but not too depressed. Her face did light up a little bit when she saw Alice and Dana and she ran into Alices arms laughing like the Liz of old.

Hey munchkin

Hi aunty

Alice laughed at Lizs quirkiness while Dana just smiled at the two of them. She turned to Tina and gave her a smile.

These two are fun huh?

Oh yeah

Tina put an arm around Skys shoulders who was sitting in his high chair doing his best to eat lunch like a big boy, without the use of utensils of course. Alice and Dana had come to pick up Liz and take her to the park for the day and give Bette and Tina a break. Bette had called Alice up and asked her to do this ever since she noticed Liz being so sullen and she thought maybe Liz just needed a break from the family.

Dana and Alice were going to take her to the park to play some t-ball after remembering that Liz had expressed some interest in this and Liz was definitely ready to go. Alice had gone to the sporting goods store and bought Liz a cute little glove and a few t-balls, a t-ball stand, a bat and batting glove, little sliding pants and cleats. Liz was dressed to the tee and within a few minutes her and her two aunties were out the door and headed to the park. Dana had been a little apprehensive about trying to teach Liz about t-ball since tennis was her sport, but Alice had reassured her it wasnt like they were trying to train her to make the US Olympic softball team and that the day was more about fun than anything.
