Today we missed having Rachel and Nathan with us. We had a fun craft to make. A cute little Halloween cat decoration. The assignments for this week are to finish up everything we have worked on. There will be no meeting on the 31st because of Halloween. Have fun trick-or-treating!

Epitaphs
Here lies Roy
Hit by a toy
the toy was sharp
but he screamed like a harp
by Kaylee
Here lies Ann
Hit by a frying pan
A smack to the head
and then she was dead
by Ann
Here lies Ted.
He fell out of bed.
He bumped his head.
Now he's dead.

October 17th Meeting
Today in 4-H we missed Cayla because she was out of town. We got to share in Rachel's special day, her birthday. We worked on our cake decorating with candies. We were going to start our epitaphs but ran out of time. We have the email to teach us how to do them. Everyone work on coming up with one this week. Also if you haven't finished the other things we were assigned get them done. We still need the color of the season poems, the photography, and the genealogy binder (certificates, timeline, and photos).

Pumpkin Pretzels
Fun and Easy Pumpkin Pretzels (from a Stater Brothers advertisement)
Dunk pretzels into chocolate, completely coating, and place on wax paper. Before chocolate hardens, take one green M&M and set it in the crook of the pretzel, on it's side. Let cool & enjoy!
- 1 bag mini pretzels
- 1 bag M&M's candy
- orange food coloring
- 1 bag white chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp. shortening (to thin out chocolate)

Pumpkin Coin Toss Game
The Pumpkin Coin Toss Game is easy and fun to make and play. All you need is some bottle caps or lids, orange and black construction paper, scissors, double sided tape or glue. Cut orange circles out to fit the lids. Decorate them like pumpkins, glue them on the lids. Cut out smaller black circles to fit inside the lids and glue them in. Now you are ready to play. Roll your pumpkins, you get a point for each pumpkin side. No points for the black side. Pass them to the next player until every one has gone 5 times. Then add up all the points. The player with the most points wins!

October 10th Meeting
Today Rachel taught us a new song.
(sung to the tune of bingo)
I know a fruit that grows on trees and apple is it's name-o
a-p-p-l-e, a-p-p-l-e, a-p-p-l-e and apple is it's name-o
We made a pumpkin coin toss game out of milk lids. We also made pumpkin pretzels. And were given a genealogy assignment. Put in your binder a copy of your birth certificate, your blessing certificate, and your baptism certificate (if you have one). Think of important events or things that have happened in your life that are interesting and record them in a timeline. Your timeline will be even more interesting if you can find pictures to go along with the events in your life.
