(Kara said forgive her artwork. She had nicer framed art for the wall, but couldn't find the picture hanging set to hang them. In other words, all the framed art I put on the wall fell almost as soon as I put it up. I'll have to work on that next time.)
"Hello, I'm home."
"Hi, mommy."
"Hi honey." (Chris calls out to Kara from the kitchen)
"Hello. Smells good in there." (Kara)
"So, how was your day?" (Kara)
"Gooood." (Jolisa)
"Dinner's almost ready." (Chris)
"Okay. Guess who I ran into today? Your buddy, Mark. He told me to tell you hi." (Kara)
"Man, I haven't seen him in awhile. I should probably give him a call." (Chris)
"Do you need help with dinner?" (Kara)
"No, but you can come keep me company while the noodles cook." (Chris)
"So when do you have to leave for rehearsal?" (Kara)
"I need to be there at 6:00." (Chris)
"Well it's 5:00 now. Are you going to have time for dinner?" (Kara)
"Yes. As long as I'm walking out of here by 5:40, I'll be okay." (Chris)
"Jolisa. Go wash your hands. It's time for dinner." (Kara)
Jolisa washes her hands and is seated for dinner.
"Not too much for me." (Kara)
"Mommy, I need a spoon." (Jolisa)
"Okay. One second." (Kara)
Chris and Kara finally sit down to the table. Chris has about 15 minutes before he has to leave.
After dinner, Kara and Jolisa settle in to watch a little TV. Sid, The Science Kid is on. Kara is checking her email, and planning out her next singing gig.
**DING DONG**
"Now who can that be?" (Kara)
It's Sasha, one of Kara's good friends, who lives in the subdivision.
"Hey girl, come on in. Look at you. I love the new do." (Kara)
"I hope you don't mind me stopping by without calling. I just got back from the salon, and saw your car was here, as I was headed home." (Sasha)
"I don't mind at all. So you finally got the braids. They did a really nice job. Which salon is it again?" (Kara)
"Limbe Hair Studio on Henry Street." (Sasha)
"Hello Miss Jolisa. Where's my hug?" (Sasha)
"Jolisa, she didn't say you could touch her hair." (Kara)
"Oh it's okay." (Sasha)
"So whatcha' think Jolisa? You like it?" (Sasha)
"It's pretty." (Jolisa)
"Well, I guess I better head on home. I've been at the salon all day. I think I'm going to try to make the early church service tomorrow." (Sasha)
"Well I'm glad you stopped by. Chris and I need to come visit your church again soon." (Kara)
"You know you are always welcome." (Sasha)
Sasha leaves and Kara and Jolisa watch a few more PBS shows before Jolisa has to take her bath. By 8:30pm, Jolisa is settled in her bed for the night. She complains that Daddy is not there to kiss her goodnight. Kara assures her that when Chris gets home, she will make sure he comes to kiss her goodnight. If you missed the post with Chris at band rehearsal, you can see it here.
NOTE: Sasha's wig is a Limbe Doll Wig. You can find Limbe Doll Wigs and other doll products on her Etsy site. Sofa and chair made by VansDollTreasures. Check out my Etsy site for lots of doll goodies. Most of the food in this dio are from Rement.
