			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me start by saying that I&#8217;m not anti-Halloween.  I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s the devil&#8217;s holiday, nor do I think it&#8217;s anti-Christian to celebrate.  BUT&#8230;Halloween has never been a holiday that I&#8217;ve particularly enjoyed.  I haven&#8217;t hated it, but I haven&#8217;t loved it either.  I guess I should get on the bandwagon soon because I do have small children.  Marshall pointed out that starting next year(or maybe the one after that, if I&#8217;m lucky), Tucker&#8217;s going to want to start going Trick-or-Treating. </p>
<p>Now as a child, I never actually trick-or-treated myself.  We lived in the country, not a neighborhood, and it wasn&#8217;t really something feasibleto do.  I never felt gypped or left out though because we always had a Harvest Festival at our church.  There were lots of games, lots of fun, and lots of candy.  Really what else do you need? </p>
<p>As I&#8217;ve grown up, so has the Harvest Festival.  There are still a few homemade games, but there are also those big bouncy houses, pony rides, face painting, and live music.  And while I completely understand why my 2 and 3 year olds were enamored with the big bouncy things, I was kind of sad that I missed the opportunity to go on a cake walk or play horse shoes.</p>
<p>Since I was by myself with the kiddos(Marshall was off taking his boards&#8230;loser!  Just kidding!), I didn&#8217;t have a whole lot of time to take pictures.  But I did have help from a family friend(Thank you, Carol!!), and it allowed me a few shots.  Plus they had a little photo op where you could stop and get your picture taken as a group.  Anyway, here are the pictures I have.  Tucker was a green dragon.  Emmie chose to be a ballerina-princess.  Apparently all princesses are ballerinas and vice verse. </p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
