Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there. ~Amy Li
Our roots say we're sisters, our hearts say we're friends. ~Author Unknown
I had an awesome time hanging out with my sisters the last few weeks!!!....but now they have both gone back home, so the nostalgia kicks in. We played games for hours, laughed, reminisced....
I remember one afternoon my sisters and I going out to the shed in the back of our big backyard to play "house". One of us (yaaa I think it was me :S) slammed the shed door shut only to find that when we tried to open it, the door had latched shut from the outside and we were locked in. After what felt like HOURS of yelling we eventually got rescued by a neighbour.... my sisters never let me forget that I was the one who locked us in....that's PROBABLY why they used to tie me up to the big pole in our basement every time my parents went out. Ha ha. I had lots of practice getting out of the ropes, just to have them tie me up again!! It was one of the many joys of being the youngest....kind of like when we played house and I ALWAYS had to be the "baby".....or the pet. ;)
I remember one time when we went to a big craft store and Sister #1 (I will leave you guessing as to WHO sister #1 is) ;) was leaning right over a huge barrel of pom-poms, when Sister #2 (who would not want her name revealed ha ha) saw an opportunity that couldn't be passed up. She pushed Sister #1 and she fell head first into the barrel of pom-poms! We had come right from school so we were all wearing our uniforms....a pleated, wrap around kilt....not your ideal thing to wear if you are planning on taking a nose dive into a barrel of pom poms! I looked up to see a huge barrel with two kicking legs sticking out of the top of it. Sister #2 could not pull her out...she was STUCK, so I had to run to get my mom to help pull her out. Ya there were pom-poms EVERYWHERE by the time we rescued her. This story still strikes me as just as funny as the day it happened...it usually comes to my mind when I'm in a serious setting...when it is inappropriate to laugh...not sure why that always happens!
We had fun playing dolls and barbies together. I had fun pulling the head of my Jenn's doll. It was fixable, don't worry...I THINK it was an accident ;). Alyssa had fun sitting on my FAVOURITE doll's head. Thank goodness that was fixable too. Jenn & I had fun helping Alyssa's barbie "jump" out of the tree fort. Unfortunately THAT was not fixable. So we took the path of brilliance and temporarily fixed the barbie's head so the next time Alyssa played with it, she thought that she broke it....Sorry Alyssa :(.
These are only a few of my many memories with my sisters. Things weren't always perfect between us... but we became the BEST of friends...!! I miss the days when there was only a wall in between as instead of many, many miles. When I need to talk to someone or have big news to tell, my sisters are the first ones who I call! I am so thankful for my awesome sisters! Although we don't get to see each other nearly as often as we used to because of distance and the business of life, I feel we appreciate our visits together even more because of it. I am so blessed to have two sisters who are my very best friends!
