In case you haven't guessed already, those five lovely ladies pictured above are my sisters and I. From to left to right quickly, Me, Katie, Theresa, Sarah Ann, and Caroline. These girls are my best friends, and always have been. They've been with me from the the days of pretending we were orphans in the back yard, to the chat filled nights of "Oh what a cute boy" (Eyelashes batting). We were fun and silly than, and on the occasion when we're all in the same place at the same time, are fun and silly now. I love to hang out with my sisters; Caroline's wit, Theresa's laughter, Sarah Ann's tendency to poke fun, and Katie's hilarious comments are too irresistible.
The crazy thing about this picture is I can't remember when it was taken. We usually take pictures on special occasions (birthdays, parties, holidays, etc.), but I wouldn't put it past us to pose for the camera just 'cause. I remember we wanted a "squishy-cheek" picture, because we were making fun of Theresa's idea of a perfect picture (smash your cheeks together and smile). Mom said something about a big squishy-cheek picture and how funny it would be. I was surprised however, when it turned out so well. It's my favorite picture of all of us.
Katie's the same height as the rest of us because she's standing on the fireplace. Theresa often calls her "her mini me." She does look and talk an awful lot like Theresa, so much so, that other people have commented on it too. Looking at their toddler pictures, you can tell the difference in hair color, otherwise not so much. I mean look at their smiles, and the way their noses wrinkle up.
When we were younger, SA and I would get mistaken for twins, as would SA and Caroline, and Caroline and I. On occasion we would be mistaken for triplets. However, that doesn't happen as much any more. No, now it's more along the lines of "What's a twelve year-old doing in college?", and "Are you old enough to drive?" Right now it's a little insulting to one's dignity, but I'm sure when we're thirty, and people are asking us if we're old enough to drink we'll appreciate it a little more.
Well this isn't the last you've heard of my sisters, as soon as I find another excuse to write about them, or rather I just feel like it, you'll hear more for sure.~Louly
