Bring Your Daughter to Work Day
Realizing Ellery wasn't working through her issues, Misty decided a new approach was needed.

But first, morning boogie.

Misty lets her daughter know she isn't going to school today. Before Ellery can cheer for a free day, Misty tells her she is instead going to work at the bakery with her instead.

While Ellery and Misty talk and get ready. Wrench decides today is the perfect opportunity to spend more time with his daughter. Not that he doesn't do that already, but it'll be nice to have his daughter undivided attention.

They start with playing dolls.

Then he gives her a bath. Wrench is a bit of a doting father.

Meanwhile, Misty and Ellery head to the bakery where Misty dresses up her daughter for the theme. They have a ball dressing Ellery up and Ellery is so happy with the outfit she gives her mother a big hug.

The employees come in for their shift and the customers start to arrive.

The shop is filled with people and Ellery is really getting into it. Two little boys make a visit and seem enamored with Ellery. They both end up buying something. Maybe Misty should bring her daughter to the shop more often.

The day went without a hitch. Misty and Ellery got to spend some much needed mother-daughter time. Misty managed to get a promise out of Ellery to try a bit harder to get along with Mesh and to reach out to her parents instead of acting out. Misty wasn't sure that solved things, but she hoped it made a difference. At the end of the day, Ellery begged to continue working at the shop instead of going to school. Misty pretending to think about it before saying no. lol

Wrench wrapped his own day with his daughter. As they talked, Wrench could hardly move, he was so tired. Being a Stay-At-Home Dad was rewarding, but exhausting.

After sending Ellery off to bed, Misty joined Wrench and Mesh. Mesh was super curious about Misty's costume and strutted over.

Seeing how much Wrench needed to recharge, Misty offered to put Mesh to bed.
Those curious about how much the shop made, here is a report.

As you can see they don't sell a whole lot, but the make a nice amount. For some reason, the report sometimes doesn't list the hours the shop is open. Strange. It doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes.
