The island's moved from spooky to snowy - there's a cold snap coming and some celebrations might be in order! But before we get to that, we'll need to dress for the weather - and the latest Penguin Style in the Gift Shop has some new cool weather gear. You can trade the pumpkin heads for earmuffs (but only if you want - the pumpkin heads might be fun with one of those new coats).

In other news: The Martial Artworks catalog has got penguins dancing at the Dojo - Judging from the number of penguins there, you guys are stoked to help Sensei! If you have an apron on and you dance, you'll be able to hammer. More details are coming soon about those Amulets you're building...

Until then...Waddle on!

Last week we asked about what you thought was happening with the Volcano... Tons of cool ideas came in and we thought this one from Waddles98990 was interesting:

I think we are lucky it hasn't exploded alredy. Some ninjas say the valcano has feelings and is celeberating holloween with a storm. Others say it is not a threat because it has always been there before. I for one have no idea and I am pretty shure sensei is the only one who knows for shure. Then again maybe even he is puzzled by this amazing firery mountain! (Waddle on CP and plz post!)

There's definitely something mysterious happening at the Dojo... have fun working with your buddies there.

Something new is coming to the Stage, and you're going to need your buddies there, too! It starts next Friday, Nov. 13th - and you'll need lots of teamwork to finish the play!! Let us know... What do you think it would be like if your penguin shrunk?

The Dojo Courtyard is the happening spot on the island right now! (The Goldsmithing outfit is quite fabulous - it's a blast to hang out there and use the tools.) Since lots of you are at the Dojo and you'll probably be playing Card-Jitsu when you take a break from building Amulets, I thought it'd be cool to talk to someone who considers themselves an expert.

Q. Tell us your greatest Card-Jitsu moment.
A. Well my absolute favorite moment was helping a group of penguins train for their black belt. It took 20 matches, 2 hours, and 1 extra large pizza with hot sauce, but it was worth it!
Q. What does it take to beat Sensei?
A. It takes good advice from your ninja buddies - also practice.
Q. I don't have a black belt yet (I want one - they remind me of licorice). What's your fave part of being a black-belt ninja?
A. The best thing about being a black belt ninja is the thrill of defeating - or even being defeated by - a worthy opponent. Putting out that last card and waiting...

It'd be sweet to have everybody's greatest Card-Jitsu moments in the comments. Have fun building Amulets!

Until then...Waddle on!

We know it's been a long time since you've had a new Mission and we've heard from a lot of you that you want one! We haven't forgotten about you guys - and we really want to say thanks for being so patient.

For EPF agents, if you're looking for a challenge, starting on Friday, November 6 make sure to check out the first Wifi downloadable mission "The Puffle Pranksters" for the original Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force game for Nintendo DS.

Big congrats to the winners of the Halloween igloo decorating contest! You can check out the first group of winners in the Club Penguin Times. There'll be more winners next week, too!

The Halloween Party is gonna go through the weekend and we hope you'll be able to do more haunted igloo tours, find all the candy that's been hidden, and get the costumes you want! Have you checked out the new Monster Maker 3000 in the lab at the Mine? That's some serious spookiness. I've gotta say that the Ogre ears and Frankenfeet really got my attention... Might be really cool for mix-and-match costumes.

Let us know your favorite costume or costume combo is! 

Hey - starting this weekend will be the first November weekend Sneak Peek blog. We're gonna be showing you hints about what's coming up... Check it out!!

Until then...Waddle on!

All week the hot topic is Halloween - and from the stormy sky to the cob-webbed igloos, there's a lot spooky stuff all over the island! Last week we asked what you were most excited about and here's what Gems I Need had to say:

I am most excited for seeing all the costumes on the night of Halloween. I like seeing all the crazy combinations like a ladybug and a wizard, or a very silly looking ghost. I also like the yearly (I think) candy hunt. The prizes are very cool.

Some of you have been at the Ninja Hideout and noticed the Volcano's getting pretty active. What do you think's going on?

Ah, Halloween, a time for candy and costumes and ghost stories, and... oh, you already know what Halloween is! I'll just get right into what makes Halloween special this year:

• "Night of the Living Sled" is back. Yes, Club Penguin's funniest scary movie continues at the Lighthouse! If you weren't here last year, you can watch 1 and 2 at the Coffee Shop and Night Club.

• All is not what it seems at the Mine Shack... it's been replaced with a Haunted House! Try clicking on everything... there are a lot of surprises there.

• After the Haunted House, head down to the Mine and click on the glowing green lamp. The laboratory is back, with some extra clothes to help turn yourself into a monster.

• Ready to go trick-or-treating? 8 candy pieces are waiting for you to find.

• Last, but not least, Club Penguin is dark and stormy! Enjoy it while it lasts! It's a perfect time of year to play Hide and Seek with your friends.

There's tons of penguins! There's cake and a new party hat!! A brand new Yearbook!! You guessed it...Today's Club Penguin's 4th Anniversary Party and we hope you're having tons of fun!

We want to say the biggest thank you for making the island such a great place to be. It seriously wouldn't be the same without you. Let us know your favorite things about the past year were... and what you're looking forward to the most for the one coming up.

Can you believe it? Tomorrow's our 4th Anniversary!

This Saturday is really exciting because it's Club Penguin's 4th Anniversary! We're all stoked to party in the Town Center and Coffee Shop. I can't wait to get the new hat. This'll be my 4th!! I tried to get some info from some of the team who's helping with the planning.

Is it challenging to make such a HUGE cake for the Anniversary Party? Doesn't it make you hungry?
It sure does. That is why being a cake maker requires extreme self control (but I did go home and make a giant cake anyhow...)!

What's your fave party from the past year & why?
Definitely the Medieval party! Putting on my fish knight costume and waddling amongst the dragons and fellow gallant adventurers was an experience of epic proportions!

Lots of readers are really curious about the colors of the party hat this year. What can you tell us?
Haha, part of being a super party planner is not revealing secrets. What I can tell you is that it's my favorite color combination ever! So I'm super excited to share! But not 'til Saturday.

I guess we'll have to wait and see... Bring your friends and your best memories. Remember: One day only!

Until then...Waddle on!
