72 Hour Kits...

While we were staying at home to get everyone back healthy and not spread germs, I decided to clean out my pantry. Which than led to thinking about food storage. Than I realized I am not prepared for any kind of natural disaster at all. Man I never really thought that much about it until I started having children and realizing that I am responsible for them too.

I am sorry to my parents and in-laws who have given the gift of food storage earlier on in my marriage and I didn't really appreciate it. Because it is a good gift actually.

Anyhow I pulled out my 72 hour kits and updated them. I dumped all the food out on the table and went through it and added to it. I also went around and added some personal hygiene items to it such as toilet paper and tooth brushes. I added a change of clothes for the kids too.

When Cole saw all this he asked what it was for. I tried to keep it simple as not to scare him. I told him in case of an emergency and we have to leave the house quickly we can just grab these bags. He didn't quite understand so I told him if there was an earthquake or something and we had to leave our house we would take these with us and than we would have food and a change of clothes and some water. He said " OH, Okay" than he kept asking for the hard candy that was in our bags. I than explained that we would keep it in our bags and only use it when we needed too. Later that day he said several times to me and than later to his Dad; "I can't wait to go on the Earthquake". Kind of funny. I might not have done the best job at explaining it. But I think he thinks it's a trip with candy.
