Nostalgia

I'm feeling rather nostalgic today, and I thought while I had the time, I would share a few of my childhood memories. (Yes, my CHILDHOOD!!)

• Remember when we would all walk down to Reams, stop at the pet shop, Baskin Robins for free samples, and continue on to get candy and fountain drinks? I'm pretty sad that sugar fest is over.
• Remember when we had to take all the rocks out of the ENTIRE back yard?
• Remember when our chickens escaped and ran over to the school?
• Boo, remember when we would hide in the old garage and spy on the workers with mirrors and stuff?
• Remember when we would play dodge ball on the tramp forever until someone ran in crying? (Alan and Paul dominated always)
• Remember when Paul and Mikey tied me up and left me for dead in the playroom? No one could find me for hours.
  
• Alana, remember our saw horses that Nood made for us? Emily and Clowny or something like that.
• Nood, remember when we would play house with the dyers and you would always be our poor, widowed mother?
• Boo, do you remember when we would jump out of our second story bedroom window with Whitney Terry because we thought we were brave?
• Beef, do you remember when Whitney Terry bit your wart off?
• Alana, do you remember when we wanted a fridge in our room SO bad because we always wanted to eat cereal before bed?
• Or when we had our dog Hammie and we would run through the bean cages with him?
  
• Do you remember the times when beacon never got old?
• When we would go to lagoon every summer, and Amanda and Anna got off the magic carpet before the ride was over?
• When we had chickens in our root cellar, and one of them died when the lights went out?
• When we had our pet raccoon Zorro that Spencer captured outside Malia's old house?
• Before the "new" addition?
  
• When we would play aliens under the tramp covered in blankets?
• When we would sleep out on the tramp/playhouse?
• When we would go swimming at the spa like everyday?
• When we had the tire swing in the front yard?
• When we would play kick the can with the Nagosians like every night?
• When our Hurricane expeditions were monthly?
• When every time Mom would have a baby we went to Chuck-a-Rama?

I know there plenty others, and I would love to have more added. I love my family, and I loved my growing up years. Love love you all

I had to put these on the original post because I thought they were hilarious. I believe it was rachel? You-mo-gway-gwi-fi-tzi-tzau!!

Unfortunately, I do not remember even HALF of this. But I have a few things. Remember when:

• Amanda would call us all Ragamuffins because we did not like to do things such as: shower, brush our hair or teeth, or wear our nice clothes?

• we would play Iron Monkey and all of the cool tricks like "Flying Sleeve!" ect? Buddah's palm!!
  

• When we would use the strings on the blinds to send a basket filled with treasures from Angela's room to the ground outside?

• When we would play "Vampires" in the dark room when the bunk bed was still there?

• When we'd make a hammock in the bunk bed and have to hold the blankets in place so Shawna could go in there to rock Emma to sleep?

• When we'd watch Jackie Chan and Shawna would always chant "You-mo-gway-gwi-fi-tzi-tzau"?
