A sister is born for adversity...

Mmmm mmmm good. Frozen yogurt from Costco.

*sigh* Yum.

"I'm all done already."

"Oh, that's nice for you. I'm not."

"Whoa there, Cuddlebug! You almost dropped that whole sundae."

"You know...I can help you with it, if you want me to."

"Um...."

"No thank you."

"Well. I don't really want any, anyway."

"No. Really. I'm good. I'm glad for her."

"Ack! I can't stand it!"

"O.k., o.k., let me think. What can I do to get this deal done?"

Fifi's thinking, "Who needs t.v. when little sisters
are so amusing? Everywhere. All the time.
Except when they are not."

Here is where I decide that some lawyer, somewhere, at some time,
once told Dumpling that possession licking is 9/10ths of the law.

"Tastes like chicken!"

"So....? Can I have some? Friend?"

Uh oh. Fun moment over.

The pictures are great. But the captions take the cake! Or should I say yogurt?

Oh, my! ROFL, but knowing how often this scenario gets played with sisters.

Too cute! Thanks for this story in pictures.

Too good. Glad to see my kids are not the only ones who pester each other. People will tell us - "You have such well behaved children." I tell them: "You should see them at home!"

Blessings,

Were you hiding the camera? They don't even look at the camera!

I had my camera with me for another event earlier in the day, and when I have my camera, I wear it! Sometimes I just subtley point, shoot and hope for focus, and sometimes I take aim and they ignore me. :)

I'm sure there is some of each in this post, Brenda. Btw...pen pal letters are in the mail!

My girls enjoyed this so much. It was so cute I had to share it with them. We, too, discussed whether or not they knew they were being photographed and I told them that it seems you always have your camera on hand for "kodak moments" like these. I should take a page from your book on that front!

Cute! I buy one of those and divide it into four teeny cups--makes the agony shorter. Lol.

How cute! I love the looks on their faces. Your daughters are so expressive!

Barb said...

Fun photos. I don't know how you do it, but you always catch the cutest expressions on their faces.

Typical sisters. LOL

What a great picture story! We went to England to visit my brother's family - the cousins were from 5-14, and one of them ALWAYS had her treat long after everyone else was finished - lots of envy was displayed. Good memory brought back!

You have truly captured childhood/sibling-hood in its truest form. lol.

I have witnessed that road countless times and though it makes me want to laugh, I also am the one wiping the tears.

A day in the life.....

Good post!!

I see they're sporting some cute haircuts. Recent? I like 'em! Must keep them nice and cool in the summer.
