Let's try this again

Apparently the following clue was a little too abstract for some people.

July 2010

I was trying too hard to be witty and creative.

Maybe this next clue will help clear things up.

Is that better?

If you've never eaten at the Waffle House, you may not find this funny....

Jaida and I were driving past a flower stand outside the national cemetery near our house. Our conversation went something like this:

Jaida: I wonder if anyone ever buys those flowers.

Mom: I think they buy the flowers and take them to the cemetery to put on the graves.

Jaida: I don't think I want to be buried.

Mom: You want to be scattered....?

Jaida: Smothered and covered!

Halloween in Oz

For the third year in a row, we decided to dress in theme. This year was Wizard of Oz.

Our little cowardly lion preferred to trick or treat without his mane.

Okay, so I see Dorothy, the wicked witch, the scare crow, and the lion.

But who is Jaida supposed to be?

Cocktail party Barbie?

No, she's Glinda the good witch. But if you haven't had the pleasure of seeing "Wicked", then you won't recognize her in her "Popular" dress.

We couldn't find a Glinda costume that Jaida liked, so I made one.

Yes, me.

No, I don't really sew.

But I sewed that.

I know Dash doesn't belong in Oz, but this picture of Maya with her best friend Trey was just too cute not to include!
