Look out Hula Girls

Meredith's class got to have an occupation parade last week. Last year, Meredith was set on being a pizza girl. She still says she will open her Turtle Pizzeria someday, but she has added a few other things to her list for the future - a cowgirl, a firefighter, a "row boater", make American Girl dolls, be a mom, a builder, and most recently, she wants to be a hula girl! So, she settled on being a Hula Girl for the occupation parade. She even decided that since it might take her awhile to commute back and forth between Hawaii and her pizza shop, that she might decide to hula dance as the entertainment at the Turtle Pizzeria. Sounds like a successful business plan if I have ever heard one! Neal is looking into franchising arrangements as we speak.

We found the perfect green hula girl accessories and to steer clear of wearing a bikini to school in January (or at all, for that matter!) I made her a little pillowcase dress out of a tropical fabric - and she was thrilled!

Hula Girl Meredith! She also took along her ukelele (or Uncle Larry as she kept calling it).
Jilly Beans needed to pose too! This picture scares me a little because they are standing on the slope of our yard, so Jillian looks almost as tall as her sister!
Time to be silly!
My proud hula girl, ready to parade!
With a few of her friends - she was the only hula girl, would you have guessed it?
