getting the house ready

Frankie's: POv
After everybody came over and their jobs momma hired them to do. We stayed out of their way, l was telling momma that I wanted to get Madison and Zara Christmas presents. Momma said we could go to the mall once everyone leaves, l was thinking of gifts to get my two best friends. We've been friends since we were three years old
We all were like the three musketeers back in the day
Madison me and Zara would all dressed up a like on Halloween as Disney princesses. Mommy was pregnant with Ariana at the time, l have a photo album with plenty of pictures with the three of us as little girls. Momma do you trust complete strangers in our house Frankie asks
Love l don't plus there's nothing that they can't take
Because we have security cameras inside and outside
See look momma shows me what their doing on her phone. Cool mom Francesca says to her mother
How did you get that installed on your cell phone
Francesca questions. Momma whispers in my ear
Telling me she had an app her laptop, that we could see everything going on at our other house in Manhattan and plus this one here in San Francisco. Momma your a sneaky genius, Frankie tells Stef. Stef winks at her daughter, does mommy know you got cameras hidden in our houses. Francesca inquiries, babe your mommy and I didn't keep secrets from each other. She was the one who suggested it in the first place, l happened to agree with her
I wanted all you guys safe and protected Stef explains
Momma papa has a gun at his and Grams house he keeps it in the safe Lock up. Francesca says, Stef knew Stuart owned a fire armed. They go to the shooting range sometimes, Stef showed her father in law how to shoot a gun. Much to Dana and Lena's concern they don't go to the gun shows with Stuart and her, Stef still has her gun
She keeps it locked up and put away from the girls
Excuse me. Ms foster we got the carpet all set up
The man said to momma, alright Greg l really appreciate you and your guys coming out. Momma shakes Mr. Greg's hand, he gave momma the receipt. Me and momma head inside to see how the new carpet looks, l take off my shoes before going in, mom does the same thing. Momma choose a toffee color for the down stairs carpet to go with the Living room set, we went upstairs to see tan carpet all in the hallway. Ariana and I both got a rose color pink for our bedrooms, mom's got tan in for their room. The rest of rooms were the same color as the hallway. The men did a good job, we go back downstairs. Momma go handles business with Mr. Greg in the kitchen, l went outside to called Madison and told. Will be over in a couple of hours
She said she can't wait to see me soon, our conversation didn't last long. Mr. Greg and his crew came out and headed to their truck, now we're waiting for the cleaning service company to leave. The cable guy just pulled up in the driveway, l went to tell momma they were here
She came outside and seen the man walking up the path way. Momma explained where she wanted the boxes installed, my sister and I have Roku TV's we just needed an internet service for it to work. The guy came outside to get the equipment from his van, l'm getting kinda bored just sitting around doing nothing. Momma who's sitting next to me on the swing, babe l know your getting bored
I promise you everybody is working as fast as they can
We don't want them rushing. Please just have a some patience, l wanna make sure these guys do an excellent job. Because if they don't l'm not gonna be a happy camper, momma tries to ease my anxiety some
I didn't say anything. Mom wrapped her arms around me
She begins swinging back and forth on the swing
