I can’t believe Pan is in 5th Grade. Look at that smirk, he didn’t want his picture taken, but he ’suffered’ through it for me…he is such a good kid!
And Tink…. is in 2nd.
What happened to my babies? They are growing so fast.
Pan’s first day was on Monday. Tink’s first day was today, and Pan being a great big brother was willing to pose for one more picture… Just one.
Her: Have I ever told you I love you?
Him: No.
Her: I do.
Him: Still?
Her: Always….
Happy Anniversary Mr. Incredible! Hard to believe that after 14 years, I love you more than I did on the day of our wedding, but I do.
Yesterday, Today, and for a Million Tomorrows ~ I love you!
~ Mrs. Incredible
Before:
With a Snip, Snip Here, and a snip, snip there, and a couple of tralala’s….
After:

Cost of Hair Cut to get one 10 inch braid…. Free
Postage to mail the braid: $2.50
The knowledge a 7 year old girl has that she has sent in not one, but two 10 inch braids?
To help a child who doesn’t have hair…. PRICELESS
The back of her new cut.
A veiw from the side…. she looks all grown up.
I am so proud of her – she is an amazing girl…
and someday she is going to make a difference in this world, and it will be for the better.
Look out world, Tink is starting to make her mark!
ps: Her Daddy, thinks the hair cut makes her look too old, but I think he just misses his “little” girl; and isn’t ready for her to be this new girl.
He will like it in a week – that’s how long it takes him to get used to the changes I make to my hair.
I am lucky to have Mr. Incredible, but not all the women I know have one those, and this friend of mine could really use a hero. Anyone have an extra one around? ******************************************************************** *Doo doo doo doooo, doo doo doo doooo, doo doo doo doooo Aaahhh, aaahhh Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods ? Where's the street-wise Hercules to fight the rising odds ? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed ? Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need I need a hero, I'm holding out for at hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life Doo doo doo doooo, doo doo doo doooo, doo doo doo doooo Aaahhh, aaahhh Somewhere after midnight, in my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There's someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero, I'm holding out for at hero 'till the the end of the night Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I could swear there is someone somewhere, watching me Through the wind and the chill and the rain and the storm and the flood I can feel his approach, like a fire in my blood I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night
The month of July has flown by – I can’t believe on Monday I have to register my kids for school.
- Pan will be in 5th grade, and Tink will be in 2nd. For all the new moms, or moms with kids younger than me – it is true – enjoy the time you have with your kids, it goes by sooo fast.
What has happened this past month
- Mr. Incredible built a cabinet and “closet” in the basement… looks great!
- The kids participated in the county fair. Pan -three blue ribbons; Tink – two participation ribbons (best she can do)
- My parents wanted to have the kids for a few days – was supposed to be for 4 days – they stayed 10. (I really missed them!) Due to the flood, I knew that I would be swamped at work, so in the end it was good that they stayed, but I missed having them around!
- Our county flooded, (on the 23-25th) as the Public Information Officer in training for Emergency Management – I was a little busy…still am – don’t know if it will be a good thing if we are declared a disaster area on the federal level or not. It wasn’t as bad as some parts of the state, but with the economy being what it is none of the families have the money they will need to replace furnaces, air conditioners etc…the ones in our town do have flood insurance, the ones in a community in the northern part of our county do not…. they are not in a flood plain, it was just too much water too fast!
- Helped a friend and her family “bug out” – started on a friday night at 10:30 and got done Saturday at 4:30 AM… there shouldn’t be a 4:30 AM – it’s not fun. The friends’ husband got very ill on Sunday, and has been in the ICU for several days – it’s not good (he is leaking spinal fluid). We moved their items back in their house yesterday – (Saturday), so when they do get to come home they can. That’s the great thing about small communities, we needed a plumber – one just showed up, needed an electrician – one just showed up to help – no charge. Just great!
- I worked over 100 hours of overtime in July. They moved me to salary, so not OT pay for me! Gotta love it when companies re-organize! I’m going to really look at my schedule and be taking time off over the next few months, because this is ridiculous!
And that was my July…. how was yours?
I can’t believe Pan will be 10!
The name Pan doesn’t seem to fit anymore – he’s growing up, very responsible and is an awesome kid!
Happy 10th Birthday Pan!
Love you lots!
Mom

I haven’t been blogging much – I’ve been busy with the new responsibilities at work, and keeping up with the kids, and house.
Not to mention, I’ve been trying to…


We have a name -
George or Georgie it is!
The best thing about him?
He is teaching the kids to keep their most precious items off the floor, yes, that was an un-expected bonus!
because as a puppy – he loves to CHEW!!!
