WiCkEdLy FAIR

I went and saw Wicked Tuesday night with some friends and my mother. I had seen it before on Broadway but was interested in seeing it performed as they came through Birmingham. It was just as good the second time around. Elphaba's (the WICKED witch) voice was amazing. The music was SO good. If you haven't seen it, you should go sometime. We ate at Fire & Ice in Southside beforehand. If you have never been there, it is really neat. Basically they give you a little stainless steel bowl and you fill it up with your choice of veggies and meat (they have all you can think of). Then you choose a sauce. You take all of this to this the cook at this large grill and he cooks it for you super fast. It was so neat and so good. Thanks to our friend Brooke, we got some extra special treatment that night from the cook. He made us lasagna and stir-fry (or his version) without us even asking. Thanks Brooke for winning him over for us. :o

Update on Petey and Kate interaction... Petey thinks any new "toy" that Kate gets is also his "toy". I bought Kate some soft blocks that squeak the other day. As soon as I pulled one out of the package, Petey was stalking her waiting for the block to fall from her hands. Eventually I just let him see it. He went crazy over it. Lots of slobber and teeth marks later, it became Petey's block. Only problem is that he thinks all blocks are his. He scratches on the side of the pack-n-play for the new block that Kate is playing with. (Yes, we have to put Kate in the pack-n-play if we want her to be able to play without us standing as guard over her eyes (i.e. Petey's nails going into her eyes by accident)). Petey also LOVES fruit baby food especially pears. He gets to lick the disposable lid. Pete-dog is all about some fair treatment of children. :) Here is a video I promised of my little screecher. Enjoy... :)
