What a fun-filled family night we had. So fun, it can only be described as incredible!
Yes, and here Beth gets all the credit, we had a costume party to celebrate the DVD release of the movie “The Incredibles.” It was a costume party because we all made outfits to match characters from the movie. We have friends visiting us from Oklahoma right now and they were happy to join in the fun.
Most of the major characters from the movie were represented: We had Elastigirl, Violet, an armed guard, the villain Syndrome and yes even two well-cushioned Mr. Incredible’s. What’s one Mr. Incredible when you can have two?
Take it from me, the sight of two grown men in lycra tights with pillows stuffed in all places was truly a sight to behold! For a moment I wasn’t sure if we were super-heroes or extras in “Robin Hood, Men In Tights!” Unfortunately for our lycra stuffed super heroes, pictures were taken. This, in effect, guarantees an end to any promising public service careers.
The Incredibles is such a fun movie with such an important message about families sticking together and each person in the family doing their job to support and strengthen the family.
We ate pizza, watched a great movie and had so much fun. As my mother-in-law would say, “we weren’t just having a party we were making memories!”
Now let’s just see if our friends from Oklahoma ever come back and visit!

I am envious. Even though I haven’t watched the movie I am sure I can do a good “Lucuis Best/Frozone” impersonation. You know, “just-ice” and all. In fact I have done a few takes for Gesla who at least agrees it’s funny if not first rate.
