Hit by a frying pan

A smack to the head

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)

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)

Put chocolate and shortening into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high 1 minute at a time, stirring slowly between. Once melted, add food coloring and stir gently until smooth.
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!

Kaylee dips the pretzel in chocolate

Lincoln enjoys eating the M&M's that won't be used for the pumpkins

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!
