Meredith's Turtle Pizzeria

Today was Meredith's school's Occupation Parade, where all of the 4 year olds get to dress up like whatever they want to be when they grow up. Meredith was very excited to get to be a Pizza Girl since she wants to own a pizza shop when she grows up (actually she wants to own a pizza shop, row a boat, be a cowgirl, teach dance class, and be a mommy) but she proactively chose to only portray one of those professions today! I was excited to use my new sewing machine for the first time to make her a pizza girl apron, complete with her logo! Then we borrowed a chef's hat from a friend and talked the people at Cici's into letting us have a pizza box. Then on Monday, Meredith and I cut out decorations for her box and she had a blast covering it! Then came the super-fun part of making a paper pizza. She chose to make the spinach pizza (that she loves at Cici's) to include in her box. She could not be more proud of that pizza and the box! She couldn't wait for today to show all of her friends and her teachers - and it looked like she had a blast during the parade!
