Care Packages, Updated

First of all thank you for everyone who have sent us a package. It always seems to come at the perfect time to encourage our family. It is interesting how exciting and uplifting a package from home can be. The way it smells like america (target, wal-mart, etc.) and makes us feel loved and remembered. It is strange how you can feel so out of the loop over here but through Facebook and email we can stay a little more connected. So thankful for that.
Updated list of things we could use:

MISC
-Baby Wipes
-Anti bacterial hand soap (not the instant sanitizer)
-Children's Benadryl (off brand)
-Lactaid pills (i'm lactose intolerant)
-Cleaning wipes
-Tupperware* all sizes. we have to put EVERYTHING in GOOD quality, air tight tupperware to keep things from bugs.
FOOD (please put food in ziplock bag, so the rats don't smell/eat it)
-*Cereal (any kid friendly)
-Kid Snacks (cheez-it's, granola bars, chex mix, crackers, pretzels, etc.)
-Instant dinners (hamburger/tuna helper, rice/noodle sides, mac n' cheese...)
-Brownie, cookie, funfetti cake mix, pancake mix
-salad dressing mix (italian, fiesta ranch, etc)
-chocolate chips, toffee, pecans, walnuts, etc. (for baking)
-Drink mix (kool aid, lemonade, tea, etc.)
-Mayonnaise (in plastic jar, regular or light)
FUN
-Kids/Family board games
-Cards/Stationary
-Jar Candles (citrus & tropical fruity stuff)
-Crafts for the kids
-DVD's (used is great, too:Wonder Pets, Fresh Beat Band, My Friends Tigger & Pooh, anything really…. movie or TV series for us)
