oh yeah....I forgot about those.....

How about building snow sculptures.....we had them all over the yard. My favorite one was the one that I built one year of Snoopy on his doghouse. I put a red scarf and everything on him....it was great!

lucypevensie · Nov 10, 2009

Cool. I never had enough patience or stamina to work on that kind of stuff in cold weather.

Did you have moon boots?

thriftyEvie · Nov 10, 2009

yes

do you remember when we did not have cable?

Templeofthespirit · Nov 11, 2009

I remember because we still don't have it.

We have just got some more free to air stations which is good.

Do you remember black and white T.V?

thriftyEvie · Nov 11, 2009

remember Atari?

lucypevensie · Nov 11, 2009

Yes!

Did you play Pong on Atari?

Templeofthespirit · Nov 12, 2009

yes, we thought it was so cool.

what about totem tennis?

One day at a time · Nov 12, 2009

What is totem tennis? I don't think I know that....or maybe we called it something else.

What about the tv's with the rabbit ears?

lucypevensie · Nov 12, 2009

We have some friend who used rabbit ears right up until the broadcasters went digital.

Remember having to adjust the horizontal hold?

One day at a time · Nov 13, 2009

What about using aluminum foil or a hanger to try and get reception

thriftyEvie · Nov 13, 2009

yes, the hanger, I still use a hanger sometimes on my little radio

did you ever have one of those Christmas cardboard fireplaces?

Templeofthespirit · Nov 14, 2009

no but I have fond memories of the december christmas calanders that had the little flaps that you opened each day.
Totem tennis was a pole in the ground with a tennis ball on a string that you hit back and forth.

One day at a time · Nov 14, 2009

Thanks Temple....I didn't know that....so I guess I never played it.....

What about the paddle ball toy....the ball with the elastic tied to the paddle....?

thriftyEvie · Nov 14, 2009

yes, i did not like the cheap rubber band, it always broke on them

remember when you looked forward to the toy in bottom of your crack and jack box?

One day at a time · Nov 15, 2009

I loved Cracker Jacks.....my grandma always had boxes waiting for us everytime we saw her!! Loved digging in the box!!

What about the prizes that you could get in the cereal box? We would want only the cereal that had them....and then fight over them (since there were 6 of us kids!!)

thriftyEvie · Nov 16, 2009

lol that's funny that there were 6 of you, same here

remember those little paperback Mad Lib books that you filled out to make funny stories?

Templeofthespirit · Nov 18, 2009

I remember the Mad magazine, it was cool because my parents did not like it.

Do you remember watching the first moon landing on TV?

lucypevensie · Nov 18, 2009

I was only 11 days old when that happened. I used to think (when I was little) that there were people coming and going from the moon all the time.

Templeofthespirit · Nov 19, 2009

I was four so I remember watching it on TV. I also cut the pictures from the newspapers I think I still have them somewhere.

Did you have a scrapbook?

lucypevensie · Nov 21, 2009

I still have mine on the top shelf of my closet.

Do you still have all your school yearbooks?
