      I wouldn’t either – and these girls are my friends! You should have seen me trying to guess them…I was so bad at it.

    I think I could actually get this, but I just don’t have that kind of time to sit at the computer with two little ones running around and dishes to be done, etc…. Good luck to all. Although, those are some pretty stellar ‘then’ photos! I am glad to see I am in good company. My dorky mug would fit right in.

      Ha! Thanks, Amanda. I have to admit that I was REALLY glad that people had a hard-ish time picking me out of the line up. Puberty was pretty mean to me! LOL

      And embarrassing! I guess I should be happy that people had a hard time guessing me. 🙂
