Memorial Weekend

Well, Friday we went and applied for Meighan's Social Security Number. We should have the card in 3-4 weeks. We then went to Westroads to see if we could find a dress for her baptism. The store I wanted to check is now closed. We had lunch with Tony, Tim and Bryan and then went to see if the same store at Oakview was still open. They are but they don't have little kids' clothes. So I'm ordering her dress online direct from China.

Saturday evening we walked down to our neighbor's place. He was having a "going away party" for some neighbors who had been in the neighborhood for many years. The people that bought their place were also there. Meighan played in the playhouse, the little slide and they hung the baby swing up and she enjoyed that, too.

We found out this weekend that Meighan likes potato salad, hot dogs, and even ice cream (cold!). While I was at "Wicked" last night she sat in Tony's lap and actually ate ice cream! DARN! She LIKES it! Less for us! She also likes Cheetos, potato chips, chocolate chip cookies, brownies although we need to limit that kind of stuff! We are also getting more "daddy" sometimes instead of "da da". She can also point to "mama".

"Wicked" was a really good show! I didn't know the show at all and had only heard part of one song, "Popular", previously. I think my favorite song was "For Good" that summed up the show very well. The singers were awesome, the music was great, the set and costumes were fantastic! I'm glad I got to see the show. And, yes, I took binoculars and was glad I had them. Since I didn't know the show, it was good to be able to see their faces and lips so I could understand the words and story better. They worked well because there were several songs that were just solos, duets, or trios. When the whole cast was on stage it worked better just to watch the whole stage, as far away as it was.
