Sepia Saturday – There were three in the bed and the little one said...

This week’s Sepia Saturday photo prompt is of girls on a bed with dolls and other ‘toys’.
As kids, my brothers and I were always climbing onto each others beds and ‘reading’ stories or making up stories using our toys.

There’s only 3½ years between the three of us so despite living on farms, there was always ‘someone to play with’, or to fight with!

  1. Delightful pictures, Jackie. Big brother in the middle one of the three looks a cheeky young fellow.

  2. So many bed photos! My sister and I spent many hours playing on or beds or sick in our beds but nary a photo remains to show it.

  4. My brother and I used to drive our mom crazy because we'd pull the blankets off our beds, then wad them up in the middle of the bed to make mountains for our little plastic cars to drive on. It didn't take mom long, however, to teach us how to help each other tuck our blankets back into place the minute we were through playing! Beds, themselves, were frequently used as cars themselves, or perhaps boats, buses, airplanes, or space ships among other imaginative things. People today tend to think technology has taken over kids' imaginations, but I think kids still do a lot of pretending and thank goodness!

  5. I had no siblings and no photos of playing on any beds. This was obviously a favourite spot for you all!

  7. This is a lovely series of photographs. You are lucky to have so many. Someone in your family was handy with a camera. Good post!

  8. Love the two photographs that show you and your brothers reading together. I don't think have any photos or children reading in bed, but I think there is one of my mother reading to several grandchildren that might suit a future prompt, if I can find it.

  10. Thanks to your title, I have that song stuck in my head. Love the pictures though, and now I'm thinking about the number of pictures of my girls playing in bed together when they were little.
