Bring it.

So the last puzzle was not tough enough for you Maggie?  Bring it...


To recover from the vacation (David, Melissa, Maggie, Tim, Ami, Susan, Kelli, James, Emily, Ruby, and Olive) everyone got together to play a game and have a treat.  Unfortunately, no one wanted the same game or the same treat.

1.  Rootbeer floats seemed like more of a treat than kool-aid to all of the adults.
 The 5 games with zombies (Halo, Call of Duty, Plants Vs. Zombies, Little Big Planet, and Left for Dead) were vetoed by a female returned missionary.
The individuals who wanted to play monopoly and risk both came from the James Hoffman family.
One of the female’s tastebuds requested the See’s fruit and nut variety pack.
All of the David Hoffman children wanted cookies.
Olive and James wanted liquid desserts.
Everyone liked Ami’s idea of Macadamia nut cookies but disliked the idea of a game that would cause us to sweat.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies did not like the suggestion of Guesstures or Twister.
One of the 2 video games involving plumbers matched with the Snickers bar.
The tootsie roll recommendation also wanted to pass go.
Killing Zombies caused one person to hunger for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.
 The video game including Sack-boy matched with the snickerdoodles.
 Susanna and all of the females between the ages of 8 and 29 wanted to play video games. 
 David, Susanna, and Emily had desserts with real fruit.
The individual who wanted to play Punch Out did not want to eat the Heath cookies or the Snicker bars.
 All the men wanted to play video games.
Unlike the individual who wanted a Tootsie Roll, the individual who wanted Carmeled Apples suggested a video game.
The individual who wanted Snickerdoodles couldn’t stop laughing at her younger brother.
The RootBeer float suggestion didn’t match any suggestions involving boxing, plants, or aliens.
The Heath cookie request accompanied the Guesstures request.
The male who recommended Super Mario Brothers wanted Chocolate Chip Cookies.


Round two...

The Hoffman Family and Kelli went to the annual cheese tasting competition in Wisconsin.  Everyone tried one cheese and a food.  No one tried the same cheese or food.  Match everyone with their food and their cheese.

None of the men ate vegetables.
A red fruit matched the blue cheese.
Only two females ate aged cheeses.
The youngest two both ate potato varieties.
The individual who ate the Smoked Gouda did not eat the broccoli or strawberries.
The individual who ate the corn did not have any aged or smoked cheeses.
The Aged Gorgonzola and the Aged Gruyere were eaten with a fruit and a vegetable.
The red potato matched the flavored cheese.
The grapes and the tomato matched with the smoked cheeses.
The sweet potato did not match the Aged Cheddar
 The Dill Havarti was Mom’s first choice, her darkest haired daughter snatched it from her.
 Parmesan and Aged Gruyere both matched vegetables, but only one was eaten by a child.
 Maggie’s fruit was the seedless variety.
 Smoked Mozzarella was eaten by an adult.
 Ami said that Kelli’s green and gold food matched.

Clear Mumbles

Susanna has not been our clearest talker.  In fact, very few people can understand much of what she speaks.

Everyone once in a while she comes up with some very clear comments. Most of the time, it relates to electronics:

Holding Amirrah's laptop (provided by her school), she pointed and said, "please", I told her, "That is not yours," to which she clearly and difinitively responded, "Yes, it is."

When people leave the house (family or not) she will say, "Bye-bye, love you too," very clearly.  

Other times require Dad to translate.  (Which is still odd because when he does, she will stop asking, and wait until what he stated is done.)
