3-Day Student Survival Kits

     Now that my kids are back in school, we got the dreaded notice about sending a Zip-Loc bag full of emergency supplies that will last for three days in the event of a serious emergency and/or lockdown. Great, just what we all wanna shop for right? It's not a hard thing to do, but I decided to show you guys my packs. Each school asks for different things, but I like to cover my bases ... and pump up their bags in case there actually IS an emergency!

     The goal is to put in a bunch of healthy-ish snacks with a fair amount of protein, vitamins, and yes, a bit of sugar. As you shop, the main thing is to check for the things that will keep all school-year. The soonest any of these things expire is May 30, 2014 and my kids are released for summer May 23 2014. It works! Please try to remember to avoid peanuts - because a kid with an allergic reaction to peanuts in the middle of a catastrophe would suck, really bad. This is Squish's kit: 

First Day of School 2013

     You heard right! It's already time for back-to-school in my neck of the woods (erm, neck of the city?) this year. Yeah, August 7th to May 23rd is our school year. All the cool school stuff goes on sale in September, you know, when all the other kids are getting back into school ... but we managed to scrape stuff together for the year. Yes, that means we had major help from Grandparents haha.

     Javi is a junior. Antonio is a 1st grader. Squish is a kindergartener. Lala ... well, Lala gets to be woken up, fed, dressed and toted all over town hearing how adorable she is 1000x before 8am every morning. It works out for everyone.
