maybe it's because i'm 2 months from graduating college and entering the "real world". maybe it's because i'm in a 1st grade classroom 40 hours/week. maybe because i just spent a day at disney world. whatever the reason: i've been craving my childhood. those were some of the best memories ever.
i miss falling asleep on the couch watching tv and somehow (my dad carrying up to my bed) waking up in the morning in my bed. i miss riding bikes, rollerblades, running through all the neighbors yards, flashlight tag, knockout, four square, teatherball, and using my imagination like crazy. i miss christmas parties, book it pizza parties, jump rope for heart, sea world, summer camps, bead art, saved by the bell, summers in south padre island. i miss sitting in my backyard eating popsicles. i miss my swing set and running through sprinklers. i miss my blanket. i miss my blue and white polka dot shorts that i lived in. i miss my dad telling me the same story each night at bed time where prince stewart would save princess jordan. i miss birthday parties. i miss 16918 hidden oak woods. i miss 493-8513 calling 492-8176 about 80 times a week. i miss jellies. i miss night swims at the blanco woods pool. i miss longhorn cafe on friday and saturday nights. i miss playing soccer everyday. i miss my bows that my mom made me where. i miss having a bedtime. i miss riding in the car with my dad listening to oldies. i miss spending every weekend at sonterra country club. i miss one page of homework.
i miss the innocence.
i couldn't be happier with were i am now, but it brings some tears and smiles to look back on those days.

i totally agree. i always feel that sense of wanting to be a kid again before i hit big change. i love that you wrote out all the things you miss :). i miss eating pink and white icing cookies with my mom on the back porch of our house. i miss heads up seven up. i miss the fear of hanging upside down on the monkey bars.
I miss Valentine's Day at school when we would make card holders out of decorated shoe boxes and milk jugs. I miss playing Categories (or what some call Colored Eggs) in the pool. I miss running out in the gravel to the tire swing and singing "faster faster we need another master!" with my friends. I miss my mom bringing snacks to me at just the right times. I miss playing "crab wars" in PE when you would run around on all fours like a crab while playing dodgeball. I miss having sleepovers with like 15 girls that consisted of eating pizza, talking about boys, playing "Concentrate", and then someone getting their feelings hurt at least once that night. I miss having a locker. All this and so much more....
love this post and i also miss being a kid but it looks like your childhood was 10x better than mine.
lets be blog buddies...
