So I'm sure many people are questioning the title of my blog...well...I built a sandcastle today and it made me happy. While I was with people playing volley ball, I for some unknown reason was not in the mood to play volley ball. So I started to Build a sandcastle, that would be the big one at the top of the page. One thing that I've noticed about growing up is how much I begin to love and miss the things I use to do when I was younger. Like playing in my backyard, or playing made up games, or building a sandcastle. So many small things like that are taken away with age, and computers. I feel bad for the kids now who just play video games all day. I remember going outside and playing made up games with my siblings and neighbors. Like when we use to take Rachel's (the younger sis) bike, prop it up in the gutter, (it didn't move that way) and it became our ice cream machine. (Don't ask how it came to be that...it just did)
I also miss going to playgrounds. I think they are so much fun. I love climbing all over everything. Although once you get older playgrounds I think become more dangerous, only because we become more stupid. But thats beside the point.
When your left alone with limited items for entertainment, you make it work. I remember when me and the sibs would take the hose and swing it around in a figure eight, you had to run through it without getting wet. After we all started getting good at that we came up with more patterns to move the hose around in, always trying to run through without getting wet. (which made no sense, because we did it in the middle of summer when its hot.) It was just fun.
Long story short, I made a sandcastle and it made me happy. On top of that I seem to be very nostalgic lately. But I like the title, so if you don't...tough. :)

Love the name. It's fresh and fits. You're just starting to build your castle. That's a good thing. But keep the young in you. It's something I didn't do, and I regret it now
ReplyDeleteMandy... I have never understood how an upside down bike was an ice cream machine... but I did that too! When my sister and I got tired of riding the bike, we'd come home and prop it upside down on the lawn! Oh to be a kid again... :]
