I almost never order anything but DH and the kids do so nothing unusual there. But this box needs a signature. Odd.

It is addressed to DH....from David Klass.


DH is out of town until Friday.

All I know is that he has been spying on me here and secretly working with DK. He said it is something that I liked here. I like a lot of things that I don't want, lol. It could be anything and that makes me just a bit nervous.

I can wait. I really can. I'm the type who can look at my Christmas presents and not even wonder what is inside. I'm not a peeker. It's hard to get me curious to the point of being anxious. I like surprises though.

But still, the box should not just sit around on the counter.


So, it has been busy today.

It played games with DS.


DD gave it a make over while I did my nails.

Then it helped with laundry.

It spent some time watching the Amora Gem video's on BTD website.



And it ended the day with DD and some cookie dough she bought (she usually makes cookies from scratch, YUM!).



We'll see what tomorrow brings.

LOL you are much better at being patient then me! I would be ripping that box open by now! I love the pictures! Ooohhh the anticipation! I can't wait until you open it tomorrow!

Hilarious!

lol too funny u are one patient woman!!

Ginger...I can't open it until Friday. I will take it to the airport when I pick up DH and not wait until we get home. I'm patient but not crazy! lol

oh MG!!

From the bottom of my heart thank you!!

I haven't laughed in awhile and that hard was so what I needed!

Please keep us updated on the box adventures! Friday is a looonnggg ways away!

lol you are so funny

I love the pics and I love the little face your DD gave it!!


I hope you love what's inside - I'm anxious for you - I can't wait to see the sparkly!

This make me laugh! That is awesome. It's a good way to pass the time while you wait for him to get back.

Oh my goodness, you're cracking me up! This was great! I wonder what else Mr. Mystery Box will do the rest of the week?

Ugh...Fridayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!?? LOL I guess I can wait that long.

Baaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

OMG!! I loved it!! The face!!
you are hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!

humf..Friday!! Oh great!!

funny!!!

I'm dying over here! That was hilarious!

the box is terrifyingly adorable. it has a face. and feet.

I LOVE that you and your kids are all having so much fun with the box! And yay for DH surprising you!!! I can't for you to be able to unwrap it on Friday!!!

FRIDAY!!! i have no idea how you can be so calm and patient. wow. I'm going to be anxious and impatient for you.

There's no way she's not staring at that grinning face right now. Lol.

Awesome!! I assume that these photos were first emailed to your husband for his benefit, right? A good taunting calls for a good taunting. Get him, MG, get him.

LOL Those pictures are hilarious!

i heart the feet!!!! (with nails!) lol!! can't wait to see what's in there!

AHAHA LOVE the photos and your sense of humor.

OMG, how exciting...YAY to your husband and to Mr Box.

I LOVE THE FEET LOL

Thanks for your creativity.

You made me laugh after a very hard yuk day at work, and I appreciate that...

HOWEVER- I cannot believe you are not peeking! I could not contain myself!

Best. Thread. EVER!!!!! lol

so excited for you!!!

OMG this is hysterical!!!

Love the face and feet, and family participation!

Glad to amuse you all, lol.
Hadley, yes, DH is getting the photos first. He shoulhave known that I wasn't going to just stare at it all week, letting it get the best of me.

Oh, and if you all have any suggestions for what the box should do I'll see if we can make it happen.

Hahahaha!! That is sooooo awesome, love the adventures of the mystery box you should definitely post more lol! Maybe running errands or grocery shopping! I can only imagine the curious stares from on lookers. I did something similar while my hubby was deployed. My kids and I had "daddy dolls" and we took pics of all the adventures and things we did with "daddy" while he was gone. It really helped the kids and I both get through it in a fun way and hubby got a kick out of all the things "he" did while gone

That is sooooooooo sweet MamaCass. What a great way to keep your kids thinking about daddy even when is is far away.

Yup, I already have grocery shopping today and DD is going to work on a few surprises for Mr. Box. I think he will have some real fun before Friday!

Oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhh!!

Tuck him in bed next to you,..in your hubby's spot,..and have your kids take a picture!!

Then on the toilet,...hahhaha

Then brushing his teeth in the morning..

oh this is fun!!

LOl on the toilet....Kanga, you are a riot!

I did put it on hubby's side of the bed last night!! Not as warm and cuddly as DH but better than sleeping alone. LOL
I was thinking about wearing something racy and giving Mr. Box a big kiss but I wouldn't want DH to get jealous. And no, I won't post that picture!!

haha, I can't wait for Mr Box to go grocery shopping!!

You are too funny! My DH is out of town right now too, but I am kind of excited about having the bed all to myself. Though, I probably would not mind sleeping next to a sparkly in a box. haha

That is AWESOME!!!

On the toilet hahaha!! That's a great one, just be sure to give him a magazine or newspaper while he's there! Make sure he remembers to take out the trash too lol!

Thanks ginger and morning glory it was a lot of fun, the kids had a blast doing it
I think it helped hubby too.

Mr box should do some house cleaning, maybe with a Waist apron of some sort? Lol.

Can't wait to see him grocery shopping haha!

hahah,..then a picture of mister box walking away with TP stuck to his foot!!

Oh oh ohhhhhhhhhh,..make a plumbers crack for him,..
then have him fix under the sink!!

Oh my gosh,..I think I will send a plush kanga out to one of you girls,..then take funny pics,.then move it on to the next sparkle sister.(EVery girl needs to take their sparklies too!)

This is just so funny!!

Mr Box needs to perch precariously on the edge of a desk, and go "whoopsie" and fall on the floor. A corner will break open and little shiny thing will come rolling out. "Ohhhh, what's this???"

LOL Mr Box! This soo funny!

Kanga make sure it gets around to us Washington sparklie sisters first hehe

That is a great idea!!! How fun would that be! We need to do this!

The car doesn't move until everyone is buckled in!



Waiting in line at the bank.


A quick stop for lunch.

I LOVE this entire post... Mr. Box is Adorable!.. I can't wait to see whats inside!..:-))))))

The checkout line.

Mr. Box rode through the store in the cart to the amusement of shoppers.

And for Kanga....a private moment caught on film...



And an embarrassing moment....

Right now we are just relaxing on the front porch with some iced tea.

+1. ROTF!!! I love Mr. Box's smile and his li'l feet.

I can't wait for this box to be opened...

I've even thought about it when I wasn't on this site... how weird is that???

Hey! Mebbe if Mr. Box drinks too much (tequila?! Margaritas?!) he'll get sick n' upchuck whatever's inside him?!!!!

I came back to read this again. This afternoon at work is utterly boring and I am falling asleep! I needed a smile on my face. lol...Love this thread!

HHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!

Hee hee,..I dont want you to open it!! lol
This is too much fun!!!!

What is your DH saying about the pics you send him!??

Cricket!! That is hilarious!!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

LMAO They must have thought you were totally bonkers! HAHA I would have loved to have been there and shared in those picture stagings.

I think I might actually be kind of sad when he gets ripped open and thrown in the recycle bin. Poor Mr. Box. Its like he is a member of your family now.

DH is concerned that I am bonding with the box instead of wondering what is IN the box, bwahahahaaa!!!.

He also said if I lose it he will kill me.

DD is doing something with the box now. Stay tuned!!

hahahhhhaaaaaaa!!!
dont lose it!! lol

LOL!!! Whatever is in the box, this is almost better... almost.

I am on the floor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hysterical!!!!!

Damn, and I thought dressing in camo to tackle to the UPS guy was fun....that picture of you feeding him, omg.

It has been a very long stress filled month in my home, but this post has made my day! Made me laugh esp the grocery store, and BR. Thank you MG, and whatever is in that box, you really deserve it-you have a wonderful sense of humor and imagination. I'm sure your DH appreciates you as is evident by the box! Can't wait to see!

I have had the worst day, after one of the worst weeks. I'm stressed to the point I can't even cry. But I hopped on the boards for the first time in awhile, and found this wonderful thread.

Thank you so much for the giggle, MG. I truly, truly needed it today.

Hope you and Mr. Box have fun tomorrow, before you GUT HIM LIKE A FISH on Friday!

Can you think of a better way to wind down at the end of the day than a nice bubble bath?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA omg!!! I'm dying laughing, I'm about to pee myself!!! I even shared this with hubby, he loved it too! This is too funny, I kinda don't want it to end either

OMG this is the most hilarious thread I have ever read.


Though in all seriousness. I don't want you to open the box. He will get hurt....poor little box ripped and torn. It just isn't right..........

sobs...

OMG!!!!! How have I missed this thread?!?!?!?! This just gave me the best ab work out ever! CHUCKLES, nothing but chuckles filling this household.

Thanks, MG!! The bathtub photo is my favorite

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!! Oh my gosh. I love this. TOO funny! I can't wait to see what is inside Mr. Box!!

Hahahahahhaaa!!!! TOO Funny!!!,;-)) Mr. Box is Hysterical.........I love it!!

LOL, this is possibly the best thread ever!

I'm glad Mr.Box is in your house, because he wouldn't live to see the next 2 minutes in mine!

Hahhahahaaa!! Now I have seen it all!!.. HYSTERICAL!!!!

I think that Mr. Box could eat some bran flakes or take something to encourage a very large BM, then he could pass the sparklie without getting hurt in the process.

Hahaha!!!!

This thread is too much fun!!

Ewwww. Cricketgirl! I don't want to have to fish the sparklie out of the potty. Lol. We will have to find a humane way to get the sparklie out.

DH messaged that he is really enjoying the pics. At least he is having some fun while out of town cuz his work this week is anything but fun. Blah.

I can't wait until Mr. Box gets tucked in for the night. lol!!

Seriously,.I bet hubby is cracking up along with us!!

The potty pics are still my fave! lol

I pink puffy heart Mr. Box and I hope what's inside is just as wonderful! My Mr. Box would be dead right now so I bow to you and your hilarious sense of patience. LOL

This is the funniest post I have seen on here ever!

My hubby loves the photos!

This is by far the funniest thread I have ever seen!

Please promise us you will not harm Mr.Box in the obtaining of the sparklie!

Go to an expert and have him sewn back up.

You can photograph his operation!

hahaha this is just the best thread ever

elf-great idea!! lol!

You guys are too funny

HA! This is a hysterical thread. My daughter said this is one of those hare brained ideas like I come up with. lol.

I think that for the big reveal, Mr. Box needs a tux. The nice kind out of the pretty textured black paper from the scrap book store. Don't forget a bow tie and some shoes for those pibbies!!

You can make some fancy DK buttons and cufflinks out of sparkle paper to spruce that tux up!

LOL!

Put some sneakers on him,like Chucks- in some vibrant color like red!

It's Thursday! What will be Mr.Box be doing today?

I dont want Friday to come!!!!!!!!!! LOL

Mr. Box is making new friends this morning.

OMG you are hysterical. thanks for the awesome post!

I think his new friend might be a little nutty, but good company nonetheless.

Zip line in the back yard. Weeeeeeeee!!!!




Oh dear...I really need a life, lol.

Lmao!

Good morning Mr. Box!

Wow! New friends and a zipline adventure?!

Mr.Box leads a very nice life!

I think I want to come back as Mr.Box! LOL

I literally laughed out loud!!..this and the Potty made me hysterical..last night DH came in the kitchen to see what I was giggling about..I showed him this thread and he laughed as well!..I am going to miss your Mr.Box posts when his contents are revealed ...;-))))

This whole thread makes me giggle..just thinking about it makes me GIGGLE!!!...thank you for the entertainment Mr.Box!!!.;-))

Wow, Mr. Box sure is adventurous!! I'm totally jealous!! I'm also totally jealous of your lovely green backyard and awesome looking front porch! The forecast today is 101 degrees, at least it's a few degrees cooler then yesterdays which was 106 degrees. Sometimes the desert is just not fun. I want to come and play in your backyard. It looks like you can go outside during the day. lol

Today will be a high of 87 and not too humid so yes, I will be OK outside. Most people here are hiding in the AC by now but the kids and I have been out working on DH's Father's Day gift. I didn't think Mr. Box should handle power tools, lol.

I love this thread.

LOL!!!!!!!!! Zip lining? New friends?? haha

What a riot, too funny!!
How did we live before the Internet and digital cameras!!

ROTF!!! Mr. Box is SUCH a good sport! He's always smiling and ready to do whatever you plan for him. His li'l feet are ready to run along and go adventuring. I love his smile!

We just watched a bit of zip-lining on TV last night. I'd zip-line in a heartbeat! Looks like Mr. Box is an expert.

Ooooh! Do you suppose Mr. Box knows that tomorrow is also Amora update day? Do you think he may have an Amora secret inside of his own to share?!!!

This is the best thing I've seen all day!!

I love this thread

I keep coming back to see what Mr. Box has done now.

Do you have any ideas of what may be inside Mr. Box?

DD thought my zip line was a bit underwhelming. OK, it really was the zip line for our poor old blind and deaf dog and now I use it as a clothes line but really, did you see Mr. Box smiling? He was having a blast.

Anyway, DD sent him on some adventures.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahha!!

Your hubby did THAT one!!!

so funny!!!

Kanga, these were done by DD....I guess she thought she could outdo the back yard zip/clothes line. lol

Here he is sledding down a hill.

I don't have any idea what Mr. Box is concealing. It will be a complete surprise. I have liked/commented on soooo many beautiful things on this forum but some of them I wouldn't want for myself. DH may be taking a pretty big risk on this surprise.

More from DD...
Mr. Box travels in time to visit the Berlin Wall.

Feet at the beach, AWESOME!!

Vegas BABY!!!

Buwahahaha!!!! So freakin funny, lady.

My dd is cracking up at these pictures..she is 5. hehe

LOL...DD will be glad to hear that Ginger. She had some fun doing it....she gets her corny sense of humor from me I guess. DS thinks we are crazy as the squirrel that begs for nuts on the front porch. He asked me yesterday, "Are you really taking that box on errands?" (rolling eyes). He used to wear his home made super hero costume out in public and in a crowded checkout line once he looked in the cart and asked "What is Tampax? Is that a snack?" So yeah, dear son of mine....being seen in public with a box (even one with a face and feet) is no big deal, lol.

My dd said, "oh pretty beach." I guess she thinks Mr Box needs a pedi. I suppose you could give him one last bit of pampering before you rip him to shreds?

Haha, mg, boys! *eyeroll*

Haha- love it.

Seriously funny! If it was my box, it would have bandages, as I already would have tore it open.

I love the ones your DD did too!!
No, I dont want Friday to come.....
oh Mister box,..I will miss you so.

Unless you have something laying around you can throw in there and send him to me afterwards...hahahhahaah

ROTF!!! @ the "snack" comment. This thread's just getting funnier and funnier!!!

ETA: Your household must have some side-splitting laughter going on! It's so great to have a good sense of humour and to appreciate humour.

*sigh* I laughed until I cried tonight. MG, thank you and your DD for such a good laugh. Tell DD she did an excellent job on Mr. Box's adventures.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!

This thread cracks me up! Mr. Box is the funniest!

Good morning Mr. Box. What's on your agenda for today?

Hilarious!! Thank you for taking us on a fun adventure with Mr. Box!!

I'm glad Mr.Box is enjoying life to the fullest as it is Friday alrerady... Maybe he could have a little surgery to have his insides removed so he can be back to doing all sorts of things.

It's finally the day of open heart surgery! Yay! I've just been lurking here, but wanted to let you know I'm excited to find out what your patience will have earned you! You're better than I, with will-power of steal!

Mr.Box is sooo cute

LOL, if Mr.Box was at my house, I would have performed a little surgery on him, looked at what was inside, put it back and fix him up, then pretend I was waiting for my present... Did that every single Christmas with the gifts under the tree and my parents/husband never noticed. LOL

I hate surprises.

oh borismom. hehe. I might have done that a time or two. *whistles breezily*

so do i. and i'll confess to peeking into giftwrap, too, to see what was inside. not because i wanted to know what i was getting, but so i would know what sort of reaction the gift-giver was expecting.


but i *do* think Mr. Box should be opened carefully. he's just having a little lobotomy! he can still be a productive member of the family!

Tonight's the night. I'm on the edge of my seat. Can't wait to see.

Oh yay, today is the day Mr. Box has his surgery to recover the artifact he ate! I've loved seeing his adventures this past week, and hope after we get pictures of his surgery and post recovery, we get to see what he was hiding too!

Mr. Box is amazing. I love it that he went back in time and still had the energy to party in Vegas. What a guy!

I can't wait to see the post surgical pathology report and pics!

spoken like a true nurse, LOL

Its Friday, Friday, Friday...gotta open Mr. Box on FRRRRIIIDAAAYYYYY!
(you know that terrible, but very annoyingly catchy song..right!?)

Dana, besides the fact that I hate surprises, I also did it in case I got something I didn't like and I could prepare myself mentally and put the apropriate thank you face when officially opening the gift.

The worst thing anyone can do to me is tell me they have something and I will get it X day... I also give thanks to God that I never had a surprise party in my life! I so would have hated being subjected to that!

OMG I would love a surprise party!!! I have thrown DH TWO surprise parties and I have never had one before.

AHAHAHA....I started reading it that way before I even read that last part of your post. That song is terribly catchy!! The girl who sings it is so cute and sweet though!

I've been watching this thread all week with anticipation. How many more hours till opening time?

Yes. How much longer?! The anticipation is killing us here!

How long do you anticipate the post-op recovery to be?....for both of you!

All I can say right now is WOWZER!! DH hit a homerun! I know you all will want to string me up on a zip line for saying this...but I have to come back later and post pics...we are on our way out the door right now.

And if I waited all week you can wait a few more hours.

Update on Mr. Box. His operation was successful and we expect a near full recovery. We have decided to keep him around. I doubt he can outdo his debut performance but he can be used for other little surprises.

Boo!!

But at least MrBox is ok!

I'm looking forward to the pictures!! Glad you love your gift.

You're KILLING ME!! lol...

You're killing me!!! I have been checking back all day. Sigh....

Cant wait to see pics. So glad you are happy with what was in Mr. Box's tummy. YAY for DH....

Ahhhhhh!!! So...shall we amuse ourselves with guessing WHAT she may have liked that DH caught on to...? Whose sparkly has she been eyeing...? Anyone? Lol

I'm glad Mr.Box survived! Yay!!!

Looking forward to see what he was hiding!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH Come on already!!!! lol Sigh I hope you are being more patient than we. :P

I kind of like a little anticipation. It makes the debut all that much more special. I am glad to know that you like whatever it is that you got and that Mr. Box is expected to be in tip top shape again soon.

...my amusing DH would say, "How do you keep a turkey in suspense?" And the answer? "I'll tell ya tomorrow." I've checked this thread more than a few times today. LOL! A few more hours won't hurt... I'll go stalk the Amora update instead, while waiting to see what Mr. Box birthed.

Cripes. The Amora update is done. And I've read it. Hmph. I'll go make dinner. Walk the dogs. Do a pedicure. Check email. Hahaha...

Tick tick tick tick.................

Still nothin?? Lol

Glad to hear Mr. Box's surgery was successful and that the operation will leave him barely scared, in the meantime I apparently need to go make dinner, empty the dishwasher and move laundry so I don't go crazy waiting for pictures. ^.^

Just a reminder in case you forgot we're waiting ever so (im)patiently.

I am soooo happy you love it!!! I was worried for you, as the same thing could happen around here if DH were to stalk my posts. But your wonderful DH knows you well. Can't wait to see!!!!!!
