We now have official 72 hour kits. Phew!!! Since our last emergency drill I realized the importance of having food our kids like to eat, and since I assume our kids are probably similar to your kids I thought it might be helpful to pass along the menu I put together for our kits. A few things do require some sort of heating unit (we have a single burner propane stove that I got at Wal-Mart for under $20), but everything else is grab and eat. Hope this is helpful!
DAY 1
Breakfast: granola bar, juice box, fruit leather
Lunch: applesauce, cheese & crackers, turkey jerky
Dinner: Lipton noodles, fruit cup
Snack: jolly ranchers
DAY 2
Breakfast: oatmeal, raisens
Lunch: pb crackers, V8, pudding cup
Dinner: Ramen noodles, green beans
Snack: cookies
DAY 3
Breakfast: Poptarts, hot chocolate
Lunch: Tuna & crackers, juice box
Dinner: Chicken noodle soup, crackers
Snack: chocolate bar
Our ward emergency preparedness lady is AWESOME and has given us TONS of information on preparing 72 hour kits, including some alternative menus. If you are interested in having me forward any of her suggestions along just e-mail me.

Good job! Those look like good menu items.
Oh my Goodness...I still haven't taken the diapers and formula out of my emergency backpack. You are so good! And...I would love for you to forward the suggestions!
I like your menu better than ours! The next time we rotate our food, I will probably use this!

I like this menu! I will have to use it. We sooooo don't have any 72 hour kits. We would be in trouble if something hit! I should get right on that! Very unprepared are we!!! Not a good thing! Hopefully I can get motivated, and I too would favor any pass along suggestions!
Love ya
Thanks for sharing that. It's great information. I need to get with it and get organized.
