Do You Remember When We Used to....

come down to a new dvd on a saturday morning

roller blade at the car shop

do magic on a thursday with an eggshell in a Tupperware

spend hours learning the names of moshis

carry baby Millie

carry Annabel doll in a sling

get a graze box on Saturday mornings

jump on the trampoline pretending to be dogs

go to parks and get covered in mud

make a stall to sell things

go round the neighbours selling things and collecting money for charity

get balloons at the car garage

picnic on the roundabout

do sparklers on the roundabout on fireworks night

climb on the roof of the car and slide down the windscreen

write letters and leave presents for the mice

put two legs in one and play mermaids

do shows before bedtime

spend all day in the woods making fires and playing in rivers

be woken to watch meteor showers bundled with blankets lying on the trampoline

be taken outside to watch the sky if we woke in middle of night

snuggle next to mummy and daddy at night for years

make experiments in the kitchen from whatever was available

spend hours playing together in the bath

be spun in a trolley at the supermarket

make multicoloured ice balloons

get more flour on the floor than in the bowl

draw chalk pictures on the street

get on a train just for the ride

climb trees

picnic on the trampoline and the roundabout and just about every park

lie on the car roof and watch the planes overhead

take car trips to the beach

go camping in the woods

go camping in the back garden

go to festivals

(Ongoing more added as remembered!!)

I made this list because I often ask the girls if they remember doing something from a few years ago (or even yesterday) and they always answer no and I think to myself WTH am I doing making all this effort when they don't even remember! I like to think their subconscious is storing it in their 'we had a great childhood' memory bank to reduce potential future fuckedupedness!!

I asked hubby for his contribution :-

Do you remember when we used to sleep through the night, have sex, eat out, go to work together in the morning, lol!!!
