We made it......

Through the week that is. It was a little crazy, not sure why, but it was. I was still fighting off that nasty chest infection on top of helping Elena with her first science project, planning enrichment, meetings, food shopping for my 72 hour kits and then the everyday stuff. But I am so excited to say that I have put together 72 hour food kits for each member in our family! I am so happy. I don't know how we will eat it since I haven't put the rest of it together, but at least we will have food. Our relief society is really pushing for every family in the ward to have at least 72 hour emergency kits and a 3 month supply of food by the end of the year. I am taking that challenge and doing everything we can to be prepared. We are going to make it. All of you out there that already have yours done, a HUGE pat on the back. Any great tips or ideas would be so appreciated!

Elena did her science project on snails this week. It was titled "Dinner Guests!" She collected 3 snails and made a habitat and put 3 different types of food and watched it for 3 days. She had heaps of fun and learned a lot. Not so sure about the snails though as they were constantly under attack. Aidan thought they were pets and wanted to carry them around with him. I forgot to take a picture of her display board she made. I will when she brings it home. I am proud of her for all of her hard work. Although she did say she would totally do something different next time. She did have fun.

I also have updated our 72 hour kits. The last time was when my parents gave the kits to us. So now I have not just two small backpacks I have two huge backpacking backpacks. How in the world do you fit all that you need and be expected to carry it all? I hope that you are all getting better. It went around our house also. No good!
