somebody could have told me to fix my bangs....

here we are. three sisters. the girls.

who given the choice, would rather take photos then be photographed. 

wait. maybe that's just me.

if you remember, from just a few posts back, my older sister flew in from the east coast to surprise my  mom for her 70th birthday. we haven't all been together for a year and to say we all had a great time would be lying. we had a terrific time.

i know mom and dad will love the black and white photo of us. personally though, i love this photo. 

i love the fact that mom probably told us to put our hoods up and even tied the strings for us, but me, being the little rebel that i am....well, no hood for me.

actually wait. i'm not even sure the hoodies are matching. i'm not even sure i have a hood on now that i'm looking at this photo closely.

wait a minute. 

did mom only buy matching hoodies for my sisters and not one for me.

okay.

 now i have some investigating to do.

sorry for the interruption. don't you love a tiger lily.

 especially a wild one from a field of wild ones.

and

a butterfly

and

a fresh out of the womb cattail 

okay

back to the family. so maybe mom didn't buy me a matching hoodie, but i think she loves me best.

just look at the way she's hugging me.

look at them. aren't they cute. 

does the one on the left look guilty to you.

i think she does. 

now i know why. don't worry mom. the fact that you didn't buy me a matching hoodie will not be held against you. after all. i am a adult. but seriously, did you think i wouldn't notice that my hoodie has white strings and theirs have red strings. 

gosh it's a good thing i have grown up and learned not take things like this personally. 

sniff.

{you know i love you mom and if my sweatshirt was different, it's probably because i threw a fit and said i didn't one to match theirs in the first place. little miss independent rebel that i am}

oh

and 

here's a pretty wild flower to end my post with. 

why. well, because it's tuesday and it feels like monday and i'm a bit discombobulated and will forever be screwed up this week. that's why.
