		<title>Halloween</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trying to beat the squirrels from eating the entire batch of pumpkins we got, Brad and the kiddos carved them on Sunday afternoon. Sophie had drawn out some &#8220;happy&#8221;, &#8220;sad&#8221; and &#8220;baby&#8221; faces that she wanted to see on the pumpkins. Clay was happy stirring up the seeds with a rainbow pencil.
