Carrot pizza.

We have been busy, busy little bees. When our days aren't filled for us, we usually try to find something to do or else boredom sets in fast for a 6-yr-old and two 3-yr-olds. Not so much me, there are a million things at home I need to be doing that I just keep pushing to the wayside for the sake of entertaining my children. See what a good mom I am? ;)

Last week, I bought a three-pack of premade pizza crusts in the small 6'inch personal size and a jar of pizza sauce so the kids could make their own pizzas one day. Craft + lunch. Two birds: one stone. See how that works?



They loved it of course. Crafts you can eat are the best kind. I only bought pepperonis to top their pizzas because... well, I know my children. But about half-way through, Layla announces that she wants to put carrots on her pizza. Carrots. I did have some carrots, but... carrots? I had given them free reign to do their pizza completely on their own, but I really couldn't decide if I should let her do it and hope she got some extra veggies in that day or if it was too big of a risk that she would decide she didn't like it and waste the whole pizza. I made sure she knew if she put them on there she had to eat it no matter what...

... maybe carrot pizza doesn't sound so great afterall.

They did an awesome job. Brynn basically copied everything Layla did. Spread your sauce. A little cheese. Pepperonis. More cheese.






Cale... sweet Cale. Cale took 12 minutes to put down a little sauce, then clean it off his hands, put some sauce on, clean it off his hands, put some sauce on, clean it off his hands. Then he piled ALL of his cheese in the very center, with a few pepperonis around the edges. It was the cutest pizza I've ever seen. And don't tell the girls, but his came out of the oven the best! (They all tasted exactly the same of course.)




They had tons of fun, I think and gobbled up their finished products rather quickly! Success :)
