Birthday fun with Minute to Win it Games!!!!!!

Birthday Pictures with the cake:

Action shot: The following 3 pics are of a game where you have to knock off plastic cups with the use of only the air of the balloon all in 1 minute. I believe it was like 16 cups.

Sorry Jill I couldn't resist this photo. Oh so close to bad we had a heckler lol!!!

The next 5 pics are from a card sorting game. The only cards used are 10s, Jacks, Queens, Kings, and Aces.

Mike in action!

Kim deciding on where to go next.

Me just getting started.

Jill's minute of fame.

Rob is ready to go! He won almost all the games. He was the minute to win it champion!

The only challenge we all completed in one minute was the card one. We played about 2-3 more games. Lots of fun was had by all. This update is about 11 days old but better late than never!

Life or Something Like It!

You know the routine...Get up, get dressed, go to work, eat, and go to bed. That has pretty much been what has been going on lately with the Box's. I can't complain about any of that especially the work part. I am really enjoying my job! I finally got the feeling back that I thought I lost a year or two ago about teaching. I don't dread going to work and/or feel sick mind, body, or soul when going to work or thinking about work! My students rock!! Well we have also been to some pretty amazing high school basketball games, a soup supper thrown by the junior class, and had some pretty awesome game nights with our friends Rob, Jill, Mike, and Kim.
On another note, Patrick has become a lumberjack each afternoon and on weekends lately. We already have enough wood to get us through next winter! Men with their toys-I guess I should mention that about two weekends ago he bought an attachment for his weedeater.All the wood came from the branches that fell because of the ice storm. The inmates were brought out to gather branches and put them on the side to be picked up by a company. Which helped out a great deal.

Wood from our yard, the Whitham's yard, and from down our street!

Continued..... We may need to do an intervention! What do you think? I need to borrow the sign from How I Met Your Mother!
