Each Wednesday, Danielle, @ Elleinad Spir, Emily, @ Notorious MLE, and myself are working our way through the lists of Listography 2011.
List#38: Memorable activities from my childhood.
Here's just a few...
Ahhh. The days of sacred sticker collections, wide-ruled paper, & over-nights at Grandma's.
Amazing how a few vivid memories can set a course of a lifetime... an endless pursuit of simple pleasures.
Now your turn to share. Cause I'm curious.
What are some of your most memorable activities? If you have a post to share, visit Emily :).

Oh I love this game! Okay, i won't list all of mine but funny things is I can say the same about the chipmunks song and decorating the tree! Another is putting on talent shows with my dozen other cousins at my grandmothers on fourth of july! so much fun to look back on your childhood
ReplyDeleteForts! We used to build tons and tons of them! Love this list, and the adorable pic!
ReplyDeletethat picture is adorable. you look exactly the same! well, not exactly... =) (strawberry shortcake and my little pony are BACK baby. my littles love them. =)
ReplyDeleteSticker books (trading was an obsession!), games of kick the can on summer evenings, gerbil procreation overload (My mom was assured by my teacher that they were both females. Uh, nope.)...I'm so lucky that I have lots of great childhood memories. :)
ReplyDeleteYour photo is so cute!
Ohhhhhhh sticker collections...I had a doozy!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this list. Your childhood sounds magical and i love that you have so many great grandparent memories. I'm right there with you on the sticker collection. I would just stare at my stickers all day. I thought they were amazing and seriously special. I loved going on trips with my grandparents in their trailer/camper. And building forts with friends for sure and making up dance routines to try and impress my friends older sisters. We were such dorks!
ReplyDeleteYour post brought up a lot of memories. Especially Strawberry Shortcake (Razzleberry Tart), My Little Pony, and Cabbage Patch Kids. I'd add scratch and sniff stickers and Garbage Pail Kids cards. And I can sing "me, I want a ho-ola hoop" in perfect Chipmunk-ese. :)

Doesn't childhood seem like just yesterday?!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful pic of you, incredibly sweet! Yes, i remember in the long days of summer hopping on my bike every day and heading down to The Pool. Would meet up with friends Helena and Zofia and just spend hours and hours down there, in the pool, lying on the concrete or just setting the worlds to rights with a good giggle...
ReplyDeleteOk first of all I knew right away that was you in the picture...so cute. I am loving your list here especially reading Bernstein Bears and Curious George. Now I am reading those to Ariyana! Ah and I remember all the forts and sleepovers too. Hope you are doing well Torrie!
ReplyDelete$1.00 movie night...Those were the days! One of my fondest memories is catching lightening bugs with my lil' sis at twilight during the summer!
