Happy Halloween!

I can't believe it is that time of year already. Well our festivities began with the Native Youth Olympic Hallow's Eve Carnival. Trace entered his pumpkin in the carving contest and won 1st place! ($10) Go Muck! Trace and Saije made their way through the different booths, winning pencils, soda pop, and paper airplanes only to mention a few. Then Trace got in line to do the softball throw that the chief of police had bravely volunteered to do. Trace was the 2nd in line and yes he dunked the chief. He has a pretty good arm. You can also pay a ticket to pull the lever to dunk the chief and he did that too! I think the chief had been dunked a total of 15 times! Then the wrestling and basketball teams showed up from practice and got in line and that was when the chief called it quits! I felt sorry for the guy. After trying to get rid of all of the 45 tickets they had we gave up and went home. Then on Halloween Saije decorated the gym for the Halloween dance and the get-to-gether for the State Champion of the NYO. They had a raffle ticket drawing and Saije's ticket got pulled and won a sweater. One of the drawings were for a round trip ticket to Anchorage. She really wished she could have got that, but hey it's winter and she'll use the sweater! For Halloween Trace was a toy army man, you know with the green base that they are standing on? Everyone loved his costume. Saije was Bella off Twilight. She had some awesome fangs and blood gushing from her mouth to her waist. It was pretty gruesome. They trick-r-treated until they could no longer pack their pillowcase full of candy.
Saije did say that she knocked at one house and they offered her a band-aid instead of candy, she was a mess!!! Yuck! On Saturday night they had the Halloween Dance, and Saije got all dressed up and danced the night away. To this day she still can't walk. Her legs are killing her!
All the festivities were a lot of fun. Trace is already searching the Internet for next years costume. Give it up Muck! Love ya all, Cherie
