Where, Oh, Where Can She Be?
Salley Cat here. So far this has been the freakiest Halloween ever and we haven’t got to the 31st yet! Alex finally believed us that the ghost on the shipwreck is real, but then he wanted to go back again and help the Ghost Pirate! We all said that he was crazy, but he said that if the story was true then we could help reunite him with his lost love and he wouldn’t haunt the shipwreck any more. Alex, Sparky, Stoogles and I went back to the shipwreck yesterday. It was so creepy. As soon as we got close to it we could hear the sobs of the Ghost Pirate. Alex climbed right up onto the deck and the whole ship started to shake and shudder. Alex called out that he was here to help. After another loud sob, the Ghost Pirate cried out, “I cannot be helped! I am trapped on this ship for eternity!” Alex said that surely something would be able to free the Pirate. He responded that the only thing that could help him is love, but that his love is lost forever. Then Alex asked him how he lost his love and the Ghost … Read more

Alex’s Trick
Okay, this was supposed to be a really funny day but it didn’t exactly turn out the way I had planned. Because I knew that ghosts are not real and there was no way that old shipwreck by the shore could possibly be haunted. So I decided to set up this fake ghost to scare my friends. I told them that I had an idea to draw out the ghost and that they should meet me at the ship. I hid on the ship’s deck under a sheet with a couple of eyes cut out. When I heard my friends getting closer, I stood up with the sheet over me and in a low voice I called out “Spaaarkyyyy!” At first they all screamed then I think they immediately realized it was just a trick and they started to laugh. But then, all of a sudden they stopped laughing and just stood, speechless, staring at me. Everyone’s mouth was hanging open and from behind me I heard a very deep voice rasp out “My love, is that you?” just as I saw two white, wispy arms encircle me from behind. As the arms closed in on me I felt a … Read more

An Enchanting New Clue
Hi, Sparky here with an interesting thing that happened to Alex and I. We were outside playing wizards (because we both love books and movies about magic, potions, wizards and spells!) near the W Shop and saw something on the ground that looked like train tracks! We were confused because there’s no railway in this part of town so we went to look closer. And guess what we saw? A really cool-looking old clock! But JUST when we were almost close enough to touch them, the clock and the tracks DISAPPEARED! How weird is that? For a second I thought that we actually had magic powers but Alex just wouldn’t believe that. Anyway, we swear we saw them and then they were just GONE. What’s going on in Kinzville right now?
Salley’s Pieced-Together Costume
Hi all, it’s Salley here! Even though lots of ‘Kinz buy their costumes and look totally awesome, I like letting my imagination fly and finding pieces around the house to make my own great outfits! This year I have two options, and I’m not sure which one I want to try yet! Turns out my mom has a cool cowboy shirt (it’s a little big but still works) and a cowboy hat PLUS cowboy boots that are nearly my size! Turns out she was once into line dancing! Who knew? Anyway, combine it with my own jeans and an old toy sheriff’s belt, and you’ve got a pretty perfect cowgirl outfit! But then I was thinking, I have a tuxedo from a play I once did, so why not wear that and be a mysterious magician? I’ve always loved magic! (Even if the sleeves are a little tight!) But now I don’t know which one to choose! I guess I’ll have to decide on Halloween morning…what do you think I should be this year?

Ms. Stripes Class Party: Not So Fun
Wow! I just cannot believe how little Halloween spirit Ms. Stripes has! Today Alex and I made these really cool ghost decorations to hang up in the classroom and when Ms. Stripes saw them she said no way. What??? How can you have a Halloween party without scary decorations? What is her problem? She said that there are younger kids in the other classes who might be scared if they are passing our classroom and see these creepy ghosts hanging up. First of all, Halloween is all about being scared, and second, even little kids know it’s just pretend! Have you seen some of the spooky looking decorations around town? Every kid who walks to school through Kinzville must come across gravestones and ghosts hanging around people’s yards. They know it’s all in fun! Ms. Stripes is just determined that this party is going to be a big yawn. Even though she’s been pretty nice lately, I think that deep down she still thinks school should be no fun at all.
Webkinz Costume: Witch
What you need: Black felt, pointy paper cup, black construction paper, brown paper bag, black paint, black button, black thread, needle, scissors, black ribbon What you do: 1. Paint the paper bag black. This is going to be your witch’s dress. 2. When the bag is dry, cut a hole for your pet’s head out of the bottom of the bag. Cut two arm holes on the sides. Glue the black buttons in a line down the front of the bag. 3. Put the bag onto your pet and cinch the waist with the black ribbon. 4. Paint the pointy paper cup black. This is your witch’s hat. Cut a circle from the black construction paper and use it as the rim of the hat. 5. Cut your black felt piece in half. Glue a piece of ribbon to the top of it. When the glue is dry, tie it around your pet’s neck (this is your witch’s cape). 6. Your pet is ready for a spook-tacular Halloween!
