General Conference Weekend- DAY 1

Our traditional General Conference Donut Run,

Saturday Morning.

In the March Ensign,

I found some good ideas for

young kids that I put to good use

and the kids were actually

excited and listening!

I even heard,

"Can we do this every General Conference?"

Meanwhile, we went to work on our planned project for the day:

72 Hour Kits

My husband found some great things at

http://www.foodstoragemadeeasy.net/

{I knew he was a good catch}

where he found this

How to a make 72 Hour Kit

in a milk jug!

[How'd We Do?]

We actually had to use a larger

cook stove than she used in the video, and it still fit,

AND

we had lots of room left over,

so we added things we thought the kids would enjoy more of:

Candy, G-Bars, Suckers, Crackers and Fruit Roll-Ups.

Surprise?

They are so light!

PS This is for the FOOD portion of the 72 Hour Kits

Your boys are too cute! I can't believe how big they are all getting (especially jason). I love the milk carton 72 hour kit idea! How fun for your boys!

way to not waste away the hours of General Conference sitting around in pjs and snuggling under blankets.

A general conference donut run? I'm liking that tradition.

I am totally going to do this! We have lived in CA only two summers and we have been threatened both summers with having to evac because of wild fires! I am going to get our kits ready in the next couple of weeks!!! GREAT idea!

I always read your blog with mixed feelings. I think you have so many fun ideas and that makes me happy but I always feel like a terrible mother and that is depressing. Anyway, I am glad that you are all doing well
