Week(ish) in Review

School is officially in full-swing and has single-handedly taken over my life.  Wes has been balancing the demands of working 2 jobs.  Needless to say, we've been a bit busy, so I apologize for the lack of posts.  Despite the ramped up schedule, we've managed to squeeze in some fun over the past week that we thought we'd share with you tonight.  Hope you've been enjoying the change of weather - LOVE the autumn feeling in the air!

Somebody turned 27 last Sunday!

Unfortunately, Mark didn't wear his Albino Penguin suite when we went to dinner at Trata that weekend.

You can officially fit 6 adults on a king size bed.

This happened!

All is right with the world now.

I was able to meet all of the kids that I'll be working with this year!  Those are 2 of my super sweet 3rd grade boys.

On Friday evening, we celebrated Steve & Karyn's new home!

After a trip to the market on Saturday morning, we picked up my Grandma to head to the candle shop (see below) and I was lucky enough to score her homemade marinated eggplant and hydrangeas from the yard!
p.s. the eggplant was grown in her garden.  Nothing beats homegrown!

If you've never been to the Main Street Trading Co. (a.k.a. the candle shop) in Macedon, YOU.NEED.TO.GO!  Their trademark, in my humble opinion, are their incredible candles, but if that doesn't light your fire, every inch of the converted country home is filled with antiques, country furniture, folk art and more!
p.s. Check out Uncle Bobby hanging out behind my Grandma!  He surprised us when he showed up at my Karyn and Steve's housewarming party on Friday.

Pretty Surprises!

Look what pretty little surprise was delivered to my classroom this morning! Tulips from my thoughtful husband make the stresses of teaching fade right away. :)

Wes' Birthday - Part III

We continued the celebrating through Saturday by having dinner at Lyon Hall, which is where we went with our families the night of the engagement.  We even sat upstairs in the same room as that night!


2 thumbs up for the oysters!
 We did some bar hopping after dinner and ended up at the local Irish Pub where Wes got to play the Djembe with the band!

Wes' Birthday - Part II

On Friday night, we laced up our skates and hit the ice, at the new Washington Harbour Ice Rink, in Georgetown.
Who can resist a man in hockey skates??
Not I :)
Sorry for the blur - the camera on my phone has been temperamental.  
This zamboni driver was INSANE.  He was fishtailing all over the ice.  We actually moved from sitting next to the glass for fear of him crashing into us.
The best part of all, is that we could see The Kennedy Center right from the ice!  Talk about timing...it just happened to be 1 year from this magical night.
All in all - a fun day #2 of Wes' birthday celebration!




So You Say It's Your...

BIRTHDAY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HANDSOME HUSBAND!
We began by celebrating on Thursday - his actual birthday...

They're missing their party hats - but what is a "sophisticated taco night" without festive Corona's??
We added arugula, goat cheese and homemade pico de gallo to our steak tacos. Yum!

Stay tuned for part II of Wes' birthday celebration...

Chef Wes is at it again!

In honor of my upcoming birthday and because I'm a true believer in week long birthday celebrations, Wes has been cooking delicious dinners each night this week. Check out last night's masterpiece: Eggs florentine! He even made the sauce from scratch! How lucky am I? Monday and Tuesday's menu items were a tasty pasta/bacon concoction (I'm sure it has a fancier name than that, but let's just call it delicious for now ) and the most impressive tuna salad. Seriously, he somehow found enough fresh vegetables in our refrigerator (we are in desperate need of a trip to Wegmans) to add some amazing zing to the tuna.  It was like a refreshing summer salad on a grilled sesame roll.  Unfortunately, I had to work late tonight, but I hear something quite impressive is in the works for tomorrow night.  Stay tuned!

SURPRISE!

One of the most fun adventures while home, was pulling off a successful surprise birthday party for this lady:


We were all so happy that we got her!

(click on the picture to enlarge)

The partaaay was held at Next Door Bar & Grill.  The staff was AWESOME, and that food...DELICIOUS!

The Master of Ceremonies.  :)

The GIANT chalkboard was a popular feature of the room! 

Happy Birthday to one special lady!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

That's him talking to me (Jaime) on the phone tonight. Wish I could be there!
P.s. just because we bought you a Red Sox hat doesn't mean we endorse the team. Well, not me at least. Go YANKEES!
