Childhood Reflections

Friday night my boys made this highly complex fort in my living room - complete with using every blanket, comforter and quilt they could put their hands on and all the chairs and stools from the kitchen and dining room. Shame on me, I have no pictures of it! Why? Because I was right there in the middle of creating it and didn't have time to stop and take pictures, of course :)

An entire night with virtually no arguing between the boys, lots of laughter and memories I know I'll treasure for years to come.

The fun we had brought back memories of my childhood and the fun times I remembered most:

~ Fashion shows with make up and high heels that were way too big for us with my mom, aunts and girl cousins...now that I think of it, we still do this on a pretty regular basis!

~ Talent shows at my grandmother's house on Friday nights followed by wrestling matches

~ Red Light, Green Light; Mother May I?, Simon Says, and Hop Scotch .... oh the memories :)

~ Saturday dinners with my mom and sisters at S&S Cafeteria or Piccadilly's.  My sisters and I, to this day, get excited if we find a cafeteria and can eat together.

What fun family memories do you have of your childhood? Have you continued them with your family?
