Food Storage Project

I have had a goal to get my food storage and my pantry organized for a long time. Well, I am accomplishing that goal. I cleaned out the room in the basement, got Jake to put the shelves together and hauled all the #10 cans of food storage downstairs. Before it was in various places all over the house. I went to Fry's for their case lot sale. I got sugar, spaghetti sauce, oil, black beans, oatmeal, peanut butter, spaghetti O's, and chicken broth. Every time I go to the grocery store I pick up an extra gallon or two of water and they are in all of our closets. It is funny because our neighbor came over the other day and said he had been feeling like he needed to be prepared for his family. He said I know Mormons know about how to store food and water. We showed him what we had and he was really excited to get started. He kept saying I have just had these really strong feelings about it. I got this neat feeling like we are planting a seed. There is still a ways to go but I am getting there. Tanner was watching me and I had asked him if he wanted to help me out and he said "Mom, those are too heavy, I cant "harry" them. He is the funniest kid and he is always cracking me up with the funny things he says. He likes to help his Dad find the "grover holes" and lets you know that Dad needs to poison those "grovers".

I feel pretty prepared but very unorganized. I would love a room in the basement or a basement for that matter:)
