My Best Childhood Memory.
I have so many good childhood memories. Most involve my grandma in some way. Some of them include:
Playing Barbies outside my grandma's house and a neighborhood dog usually came up and stole one. I would find it later with a hand missing or a foot chewed on. I would still play with it. In fact, I still have a lot of them.
Me and my cousins and brother would play business in my grandma's building behind her house. It was usually either store or business and because I was the oldest (and I am extremely bossy) I always picked the game and I was always the boss...haha
I remember playing paper dolls under my grandma's table during city council meetings (my grandma was treasurer). Sometimes I could get the secretary's son to play with me. My grandma would get me a new paper doll book every time just to make sure I had plenty to entertain me.
On my mom's side, I remember getting together with a huge amount of cousins at Thanksgiving and Christmas and playing football in the front yard of whatever house we were at. I also remember most of us pairing off at the end of the night and staying the night at someone else's house.
I remember when I was 9 going down the steepest hill in town on a bicycle. I remember crashing half way down right in front of the boy I liked at the time's house. His best friend gave me an ice pack and offered to share half of his pb & j with me.
My favorite birthday party was my 9th birthday. I had 12 girls spend the night and we stair-sledded on a mattress, had a fashion show, a singing contest and the next day we went skating where I was joined by about 6 or 7 more kids. One of my friends fractured her leg before we even got in the skating rink. She fell outside in a pothole.
I have so many others including family vacations in the car and basically just tormenting my little brother (until he got 6 inches taller than me). I actually had a pretty good middle school/teenage experience too.

Sounds like you've got some great memories. I remember playing with paper dolls, too.
ReplyDeleteI loved paper dolls. Barbie and Rainbow Brite come to mind as being the ones I had most.
DeleteOh I loved paper dolls when I was little! That's kinda sad about the dog chewing on the barbie, I think I would have been devastated lol
ReplyDeleteIt was sad about the dog chewed Barbies at the time, but now I bring them out and my daughter and her friend laugh at the misfortune my Barbies have endured. Most of them also have haircuts given by me. They still have a good time playing with them. :)
DeleteMy grandma had a cupboard in her kitchen island filled with paper dolls and coloring books just for me. You brought that memory back to me by sharing yours! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy grandma kept mine in an old copy paper box to grab and go. It also had coloring books in it. It was a special day when I got new markers and got to use them. Glad I was able to bring back a memory for you.
DeleteSuch wonderful memories!
ReplyDeleteThanks. :)
DeleteI lost a few Barbies that way too!
ReplyDeleteYou think we would have learned our lesson after the first one...haha!
