Pear Pie Success!

It was one of those days...

• Poor Daniel got held over at work.
• The girls' headed to Scandia for their Daddy/ daughter date only to find out the Groupon we bought is only valid on weekends, (and expires at the end of the month and there are no more weekends in September!)
• The girls and their daddy headed to frozen yogurt instead, only to find our usual spot closed!
• They came home, and we decided we would go to Ikea as a family to buy Sierra's big girl bed and a new lamp shade. The bed we wanted was out of stock, and the lamp shade we took home didn't fit our lamp!
  

Of course, that was only the bad...

• The girls maintained a positive attitude, despite their disappointment.
• The girls and I finally did a painting project I have been wanting to do for a while, and I can't wait to show you! They had a lot of fun, and it turned out awesome!
• Who needs candles when the smell of fresh-baked pear pie permeates through the house?
• The pie turned out great, and we really did enjoy the day as a family!
