Oh, to be a kid again

The holidays and being away from my family always brings back memories from when I was young. Being a "grown up" has been one of my favorite things, but it definitely isn't as cool as I thought it was when I was younger. Except for the fact I get to have sleepovers with a boy every night ;)

There is numerous things I wish I could go back and do just a few more times...
+Making pallets on the floor of my parents room
+Saturday morning chocolate chip pancakes
+My mom singing "Goodnight Sweetheart"(goodnight sweetheart well it's time to go, dunuh dunuh) before I went to bed & "Rise and Shine"(rise and shine and give God the glory glory) to wake me up
+Simon says in the backyard with my brothers and they decide simon says to taste dads beer(my brothers definitely thought it was cooler than I did, gross. Mind you I was 6.) I lost that one.
+Building a full size Viper out of snow with my dad and brothers that we could actually sit in. (Yup, we won first place & scored some Storm Lake bucks)
+Waking up every day without a care in the world except for what cartoon to watch or how long I would get to play outside
+My "pink" blanket
+Late night Walmart trips with my mom & friends in our PJs
+Live in the same city as all my best friends

I will definitely reenact a few of these with littles of our own one day.

At least it still remains that my parents and brothers are still my favorite people while adding in my husband.
