Until you were in custody, Miranda wasn't necessary. Whether or not you were in custody would be an excellent question to ask your attorney.
So, what questions did you answer?

they asked me if i hit the house and i said no and then they asked if i saw them hit it and for the sake of being as vague as possible as though not to contradict the others stories i said i really wasn't paying attention to them
If that's all they asked you and all the response you gave them, Miranda is not really an issue. Miranda would only be useful if you made incriminating statements to them, and then only to get said statements suppressed...assuming the court found that it was a custodial interrogation.
Of course, saying you really weren't paying attention to them isn't the same as "I wasn't in the house and couldn't see them, of course".
