Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

I am so glad that I get to spend the whole day with you.
We went to my new school and put together first day folders.   I found the water cooler and treats super fast.

And it was a bit scary for me but I made lots and lots of new friends.

And when Mommy came home, we opened her presents together.  We made cards and she just loved them.

She always loves our cards the best. 

See what I mean?

Christina picked out the perfect baking mold so we can make lots of sweet treats.  Way to go Christina!

Mommy is super happy.

And then she wanted to make sure we got a picture of my drawings.

With extra Samantha snuggles.  Always with the snuggles!

Now she's ready to open the present I picked out for her.

Gosh, I hope she likes it.

A beautiful sun glasses case.  She needed a new one and I made sure to get her a really beautiful one.

And then she opened Daddy's present.

She loved them.  Beautiful pearl drop earrings. 

Christina was more interested in the glasses case.

I think she wants one of her own.

Earrings! They are just beautiful.

Success!

And since Mommy didn't want to cook, she picked PF Changs and ordered two grown up drinks at once.  Then she turned to Daddy and asked what he is planning to drink. Oh, my!

Kisses and an up close of the super pretty earrings.

Christina made a huge mess with chocolate. 

So, I made it a contest.  See my messy mouth?

After a great birthday dinner, we got a quick picture of Mommy's most favorite people ever!

On the way to the car, Christina said, "Did you hear that?  It's a big spit".
 Oh, Christina!

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Beware Of Sharks!

So, I'm in limbo this week. Harmony ended last week and Cranbury School doesn't start until next week. Mommy and Daddy are working this week so I'm left to my own devices. That means lots of book reading, art projects, movie watching and confirming that work is boring and I want to stay in school forever.

Good thing it's swim lesson day!  See that shark?  Wait, it's not a shark. It's me!

Catching a ride on Mr. Ahmed.

Silly face.

Silly face.

Silly faces aren't limited to the dinner table in this house.  We moved them to the bath tub.

Christina thought Mommy was distracted when she drank the water. Oops!

I am getting really good with Mommy's iPhone. 

Woah, it's a Christmas miracle that we're all clean!

First Day Of Preschool

First day of preschool means that I'm super dee dooper big.  Even Lulu agrees!

Mommy wanted me to make a video.  Me?  Not so much.

It's not Samantha's first day of kindergarten but she gets to go to her new school to meet her teacher and meet all her new classmates so she got all dressed up nice and pretty.

We are the Burt Girls!

Daddy canceled all his crazy far away meetings just to be here today and took Samantha to Teddy's for a grilled cheese lunch before going to her school.

She loved it!

Samantha at the nook. What a big girl!

For Samantha, that is a really big smile.

Resting in the reading nook.  Kindergarten sure has lots of nooks.

Emily sneaked into her room and posed for a besties picture.  They aren't going to be in the same class but they told me that they will still see each other a lot.

Computer station.

Pretend City.

Wow, great Pretend City.

Bestie hug.

Daddy and Samantha!

Mommy and Samantha!

And, since it's my post, back to me on my very first day at preschool. I celebrated this milestone on the picture rock.

And then we went home and played on the swings.

Mommy, I'm big now and don't want the baby swing!

Here's my tattler, sideways, but still. It tells Mommy that I'm learning weather, numbers, had no accidents and put bears on a train for a ride through town.  I may have cried every single day during transition to preschool but there were no tears today and I even practiced writing my name and Miss Katelyn is going to hang it on the wall. This is a great preschool classroom!

Since we were on a roll, we decided to head to the park. On our walk, I looked up and said, "Oh, Mommy.  That is so beautiful. What is it?"
"Scaffolding, Chrissy....."


I think Samantha just wanted to show off her pretty dress some more.

But I'll take it!

We talked to Uncle Travis on the phone.  I am trying to teach him to spell my last name.
 B-U-R-T

He is trying to teach me
F-A-R-T

Then the phone lost connection.   Hmmm!

Football Fan In The Making

Miss Emily came over last night to babysit us while Mommy and Daddy went to Melting Pot to celebrate Mommy turning 35 this week. Emily brought over these awesome art projects.

Christina made a King Octopus.

And then made him a seahorse friend.

I made a princess.

And a fish friend for her.

Mommy woke up this morning and we told her lots and lots of stories about the adventures with Emily last night. We love when she babysits!

Mommy threw us in the car and then we strolled in style down Main Street.  Sometimes we wonder why people always get a twinkle in their eyes when they see us. 

After naps we celebrated Labor Day princess style. 

Emily and I make perfect princesses.

Christina is super cute too!

Tea for two!

And then Emily showed me how to put on a ballet recital. She has been to lots of them and is kinda an expert.

And then we made a video for Aunt Lissa to thank her for the best birthday present that I still love to read.




Christina wanted to make a video for Aunt Lissa too.


Then she got the video bug and wanted to make another one for cousin Caroline.



So, of course I had to make one for cousin Lauren.


Then we were videoed out and went to play on the swing set.  Christina is learning to hold on tight and swing on the big girl swing.

Almost there, love love.

Guess what Daddy bought me while we were on the swings.  Go Giants!
