The box topic was FOUNDATION. It came with straws, candy lego blocks, jelly bellies, sticky popsicle sticks and instructions. We had three projects to complete together. We also had an amazing pre-prepared playlist to listen to as we worked together. Our favorite song was Winter Wonderland by Earth, Wind and Fire!
Project #1 - Build a candle-holder from the popsicle sticks provided and place the candle in it.
Project #2 - Build a foundation or structure to support the box that the date came in.
Project #3 - Build a tower to support one jellybelly on top and then place it on top.
This was no easy feat for us! First of all it was madly tempting to eat all the candy before we could get pictures of our constructed work. Secondly, it was just plain difficult. Our patience was tried, but we had so much fun putting it all together.
Each popsicle had a foundational truth about our marriage. We had to describe what we are building our marriage on. That part actually came easiest to us. You can see some of our words in the pictures. We did not end up using all of the sticks, but we finally had a working structure and put our candle inside.
The next two projects had to get our box at least two inches off the table. Maurice used our "bricks" for height while I constructed a platform from the jellybellies and toothpicks. "Somebody ate all the rest of the at this point, lol.
We stacked our box on top of the bricks once our foundation was complete. That phase was done. It reminds me of how marriage is a constant build. You think you are done, but there is always another test, trial, process or mountain to climb!
The very last part was to use the straws to construct a stand for the last jellybelly and to place it on top. We thought that this would be the very hardest part of our build, but it took less than 5 minutes. We used the tape provided in our box to put three straws together (guess what they represented to us?) and then our jellybelly happily sat on top!! Voila!
The foundation of any marriage is important! What you use to build with, then, is paramount (pun totally intended!). Ours is built on Christ and we elevate Him each other and all else!
