Holy hell this has taken me down memory lane!! So many fond memories... It's ashame most kids of today are clueless as to the hands on kind of fun kids had back in the day. I use to also love playing yard games... freeze tag, kick the can, hide and seek, etc.

Thanks for all the good feelings ya'll! How about those Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots, Don't Spill the Beans and Kerplunk!!

OMG and jump rope, double dutch, hopscotch, jack, marbles, four square....

Here's the kid in me shining big right now LOL

P.S. I had heard the klackers were discontinued because they shattered and the glass got in someone's eye. I sucked at them but my sister could go to town on those things :)

One year my Dad made me one out of hay bails. It was probably 5' tall (though it felt like 8' at that age) and had a hall entrance and he even put a few inside as seats and a bed. I spent a fun summer in it.

My Mom would make blanket forts all the time and we would play and giggle in them for hours.

The Tricky Dogs reminded me of this too....

I quit smoking when cigarettes went from 89 cents a pack to $2 a pack. There was no way I was going to spend $2 on a pack of smokes. Now they are $10-12 a pack. Glad I quite when I did.

Captain Action

The only "doll" my pre-teen butch self really liked to play with (OK, I did like Barbie's kid sister Skipper, too -- she was cute). I still have ol' Captain Action stored away but Skipper got lost somewhere along the way.

This was one of my mothers favorite torture devices.. putting ALL of my very STRAIGHT hair in these, for days before a holiday.

Thanks Ma! :|
