October 16th 2010

                                                Pumpkin Decorating  
These were some of the pumpkins
after the decorating!! They did
an awesome job!
These were some of the
pumpkins before the girls started to
decorate
On October 16th, I had my first planned activity with the girls. Because it was my first activity, I decided that it would be a good idea to get togeather with another group with more expierence so i could see what to do. I worked with Fernwood Baptist church and their Youthgroup. Starting at 4pm we all met at the girls home and decorated pumpkins! The girls loved the pumpkins and they turned out really good! After that, we ate dinner, had fellowship time and relaxed. For dinner we had hamburgers and cheeseburgers, chips, and lemonaide. To top that off, everyone had a cupcake to go with it. The girls seemed to really enjoy the time and interactions with other people. After dinner, we played games, and had a bonfine. At the bonfine, we roshed marshmellows and had S'mores! I loved getting to relax with the girls and get to know them better! Everyother thursday starting tomorrow, i will be going to the girls home and tutoring the girls and spending time with them! i can't wait! I've had so much fun. It was really neet to see how each girl decorated their pupkin. Their emotions they were feeling really impacted how they decorated their pumkpin. One girls pumpkin said "mamas girl forever". One girl that does not speek very ofter had one of the surprising pumpkins. This girl never has a smile on her face and does not talk or associate with people much. Her pumpkin said SMILE on it, with pretty black and red stars. To me, that pumpkin SCREAMS "I want out of this, I want to burst out in smile, but I just cant." Tomorrow, I'm going to devote more attention to her, and see what happens
Faces have to be blured out or
covered for protection. She was so
proud of her pumpkin!
One if the pumpkind that 'spoke' to mt the most
