Happy Halloween!

Today is Halloween 2010! Halloween stands for different things depending on who you are. Kids: Annual Day of Walking Around in Coustumes, Staying Out Late, and Eating Candy. Most teenagers: Annual Day of Scaring People. Most adults: Annual Day of Wasting Money on Candy to Give to Strangers and The Eve of the Day where Most Kids go to the Dentist. I love Halloween.
This year no one knows what I am. I keep changing my costume. From Mummy to Igor (Frankenstein's hunchbacked assistant) to Viking to Cow to Zookeeper to Safari Guide. What am I tonight? I have no idea yet. this is my first year not trick-or-treating (probabaly). Happy Halloween, everyone!

We've Been Booed!

Today we got our start in this year's "Booed" celebration! This is a neighborhood tradition: if you are "booed" by someone else you must first tape the invite to your door (so no one else will boo you), and then go to www.beenbooed.com and print out 2 cards. Leave them on your neighbor's doorsteps. Knock and run away so no one will see you! Never tell anyone who you booed. It's a secret. Be sure to leave treats with your cards! Get a start in your neighborhood. Go to the "Booed" website. Help put Oregon in first place for "Boos"! First place? California with 6,709 this month! Get started and be sure to "Boo" others by Halloween.

The Bird Has Landed

Today I was told to look at the mail and was surprised to see that there was an envelope adressed to me. It was labeled Chase Pixley: Eagle Scout. That's right, I hurtled the tallest hoop in boy scouts and became an official Eagle Scout! The envelope held my certific ate, my Eagle Scout identification card, and numerous papers concerning my enterance to the National Eagle Scout Association. My card was daated 11 days before my 14th birthday, so I reached my goal of becoming a 13-year-old Eagle!
