January Date Night 2017

Here's a little insight into our sexy Long Island date nights. We had dinner at a Greek restaurant, Alexandros, followed by a Harbor Front Concert at the PJ Village Center. Then we tried a random bar for drinks, Portside Bar, and it was a little sketchy. No pictures inside the sketchy bar.

Hansel and Gretel Puppet Show 2016

I took the kids to the puppet show at the Port Jefferson Village Center again this month. This time it was Hansel and Gretel. This time I let the kids sit on floor, and then all the kids ended up on the floor because it was so hard for them to see sitting mixed in with adults.

After the puppet show, the kids wandered over to Harborfront Park where other kids were splashing around.

While I was watching the kids, Heather from Fall Soccer Woddlers called me over. James's friend from soccer, Logan, was playing in the park too, and Heather was watching her new baby Colton. Meanwhile, Miranda persuaded Kevin to take her to the harbor.

Puss in Boots Puppet Show 2016

After my 5K race, we took the kids to a puppet show in Port Jefferson. We got there early and got good seats but that led to extra squirminess for the extra time waiting. They were pretty mesmerized during the show though. Fun family time!

Harbor Front Trio- December 2015

Date night! Twice in one month! Craziness! First we went for coffee at Tiger Lily Cafe because I had been wanting to check it out, and also because I was so tired after my night out in NYC celebrating Mike and Havi's love.

Then we went to get my library card at Port Jeff Library so I can take the kids to events and get digital books and audiobooks. But it's super frustrating to get a library card there. This was my second try and I still thought they were going to say no. What are the rules? You have to have a piece of mail with your name AND date on it. It doesn't matter if all your bills are addressed to your husband, that's a personal problem. It doesn't matter that your husband and kids already have their library cards. It's also a personal problem that a lot of your bills have personal information on them. But alas, I got my card.

Book Tree at library- Merry Christmas and Hallelujah!

Then we were off to the main event. The Harbor Front Trio was playing (for free!) at the Port Jefferson Village Center in the Sail Loft Room with a view of the harbor. The trio played Mozart (well Mozart's dad actually) & Haydn.

There was a tree decorating competition happening.
