Ok, raise your hand if you love The Wizard of Oz!
ME TOO!
Now, raise your hand if you wanted with all your heart a pair of your very own ruby red slippers.
ME TOO!
When I was a kid my all time favorite time of the year was when they showed The Wizard of Oz on tv, and I would have killed for a pair of those sparkely red shoes!
Those yellow brick road enthusiasts may understand my out right anger when about 7 years ago I saw sitting so innocently on the little girls shoes section at Target, a pair of RED RUBY SLIPPERS!
Why was this magic not available when I was a little girl?
Or could this be another Cabbage Patch instance where they were available but my mother refused to be a part of the madness.
Don't answer, cause I don't want to know.
Well, although Aubree has only seen bits and pieces of the greatest movie ever made and has no recollection of the shoes, only "scary" monkey's (this from a avid Jurassic Park fan) she announced she wanted Red Sparkle Shoes.
Here she is looking very Dorthy-ish.
I know, I wish I had a pair too.

Hi Alison, thanks so much for giving me your blog address. It’s so nice to read about you and your family. I thought you might like to know that Emily loves the Wizard of Oz too (she is a Kansas girl after all!) and is Mum is making her a Glinda the Good Witch costume for Halloween. I'll be sure to post pictures.
Love, Jennifer
For the record...I never had ruby red slippers either, so I don't think they existed so many years ago. I'll be on the look out for adult sizes! Also, that movie scared me as a kid. I'm glad you love it so much.
Have you seen Wicked? You'd love that too. We are going the end of the month here in Denver. Yeah! You should check it out if it comes to Vegas or SLC.
Anyway, hope all is well. I love reading your blog! Love ya.
