At the end of the day, this is what we had to show for our work.
No, this will not feed our family for a whole year, and yes, my kids eat a lot of food!I left the kitchen unattended for a moment, and returned to find this. Luke had taken over where I left off.
He had the general idea....just overdid it a bit! Everything was coated in flour.
Ben crawled underneath Luke's "work space" and was dusted.
Ben loves to suck his thumb, especially when he has a blanket or something soft to hold. When he can't find a blanket handy, he gets creative. Often times a sock or a shoelace will make do.
"All done Mom!"
This turned out to be a great family project. All the kids wanted to join in the fun. Scott and I did what we could, then headed off to mutual. When I got home, this is what I found.
Brek, the scooper. Otherwise known as the filler of cans.
Josh, the sealer....the guy in charge of manning the machine.
Sydney, the labeler....the gal in charge of the permanent marker.
And then there was Maddy. Maddy was in charge of creating forts out of all the big boxes lying around our kitchen.
What a team!It is such a great feeling to see your kids working together....happily.
And happy they were. Wouldn't you agree?

That's so cool, I didn't even know you could check out the sealer. What a good idea... looks like a fun mess. :)
Go P Family!!!
That is what we are going to be doing again next week after our trip to the storehouse. A few weeks ago I was showing a friend our "food storage room." She said ahh that is what a years supply is suppose to look like. I had to laugh and tell her the sad thing is...well that isn't a year supply. It was probably enough for our family for 4 or 5 months. It sure takes a lot to feed large families.
