Difficulty:	(0.66)

After the sandbox disaster the week before, five fathers were in charge of taking the children to the park. The fathers did not want to have the same mix-up with the sandbox that their wives went through, so this week they kept all their children on the jungle gym. Everything was going good until it was time to leave and the kids had to put their shoes on. It was at that time that the fathers realized that the shoes were all mixed up. Can you help these fathers figure out which shoes belong to which child?

The Fathers: Pete, Sam, Mark, Kaleb, and Zander.

The Children: Zach, Tim, Chris, Laura, and Natalie.

The Shoes: Black, Red, Yellow, Green, and Pink.

Clues:
1) Pete bought his son black shoes, but his son is neither Chris or Tim.
2) Chris hates the colors green and pink, but his friend Laura loves green.
3) Sam, Tim's dad, was searching for shoes the same color as a firetruck.
4) Kaleb and Zander are the only dads with daughters.
5)Natalie's dad is not Kaleb.

Heehee, took me two minutes with a hand made grid. Good job. Kalli, it's great to see you are back with submitting teasers. I'll keep my eyes open for more of these, there are very cute. :D

So... I ended up with just 2 red crosses on my grid... and one was unnecessary... next time could we have more "this person is not this" and less "this person is this"? Good one, though! :)

Purty darn easy, but still fun. Ilike the ones that really don't require a grid or paper.

Pretty easy, once I made the assumption that Sam was looking for red shoes. Where I'm from, we have yellow and green fire trucks! :o

Pretty easy but fun. :) I'm with Talking though, I had to assume that the "color of firetrucks" clue meant red. I've seen them in red, yellow, green, and white.
