you would think with the same last name

If I had a dollar for every time people told me I sound exactly like my mother or my sisters look exactly like me, I would have a lot of dollars. 
Yes we all look alike. But even though we all have lived together for so long, we are all completely different personalities all crammed into a TLC-worthy household. Never a dull moment. 

one Sylvester "collects collections"

So yes, every single one of us is completely original. My sisters are carbon copies of me physically, but personality-wise...so very different. Just by the way each of us arrange our desks and rooms. Which kids make their beds every single morning. What daily routines we have. 

one Sylvester has a personal armory???

Some of us spend 20 minutes doing our hair and makeup while others spend 20 minutes brushing and flossing their teeth. Some of us wear unique and colorful outfits daily. Some of us could wear the same outfit every single day. 

one Sylvester likes his/her cookies ;)

There are certain children who are incredibly possessive about their toys (and sweet treats). There are Sylvesters who are perfectly comfortable letting siblings use any of their precious possessions. Some of us are right down the middle depending on the object. Some of need to know every single detail of every single situation. Some of us could care less.

#2 has too many movies...

Some of us collect one strange type of thing (#2 has over 100 movies to her name). Some of us have decided to just collect EVERYTHING. Some of us build. Most of us destroy :P Some of us wake up early. Some of us decide we don't need sleep. Some of us could drink an entire gallon of milk everyday. Some of us can't stand the sight of milk.

couldn't leave my own desk out :)

None of us have the same favorite food. None of us have the same favorite movie. If you asked each one of us what his/her favorite thing to do on the weekend is you would get 10 different answers. 

But even though no two of us are alike... 

and some days all we can do to tolerate each other is avoiding one another...

I thank God each and every day for the absolutely incredible family He has blessed me with even though I definitely do not deserve such a wonderful and loving Catholic home.
