...is just not something I can promise for this neglected blog.
One thing I can do, however, is update the world on our SPOOKTACULAR Halloween Weekend.
I began at the ward trunk or treat, where Jack Sparrow docked The Black Pearl.
(I am being eaten by a spider, if you couldn't tell.)
The thrill continued to American Fork, where we spent Sat. Night with Jess and Dave's family.
Jack joined us there, in all his glory.
The Lund Girls looked as cute as ever. The crayon, clown and Minnie Mouse costumes were top of the line creations.

We spent the evening trick-or-treating with these cute faces.
I quickly remembered the reasons why trick-or-treating is obnoxious. But was soon reminded that the candy is totally worth it. I do love candy.
As if that was not enough, we couldn't celebrate without dinner-in-a-pumpkin. Made by my sweet mother. Bonnie shared a Mexican tradition with us.
Decorating sugar skulls to honor the dead.
We changed it a little, we decorated them to look like ourselves.
I hope it's not bad luck.
We indulged ourselves in caramel apple goodness.
And we ended the weekend saying goodbye to those we love.
It is always so hard to be away (even if it is only 150 miles). Sometimes it feels like forever!
These pictures of the children just say it all.

Love this post!! Ty is one awesome Jack Sparrow. Narly hair and all. I'm glad to see he arrived in style sailing in on The Black Pearl. Seriously, too cool!!!!!
And you, all wrapped up and ready to be devoured! Very clever indeed. A Halloween to be remembered.
Thanks for sharing pics of our cute nieces and your cute nieces and nephew. I'm OK with your irregularity, just keep 'em coming when you can!!!
p.s. Those sugar skulls were somethin'!! I've never seen such a thing!
I didn't even recognize Ty. Great job, you two! I'm copying the skulls idea.
So I just closed my eyes, put my hand over my heart and had a moment to think back to our Beowulf days. My mom faithfully uses the doll each year, and I hope it will never stop. I still can't get over our thought process every time I see it; it is so funny that we thought straw+fur+painting a baby's eyes red=Beowulf...and now I'm remembering when we had a "chivalry" unit and Tom Cryer gave you stuff from his house...ooooh my gosh haha I'm laughing out loud now. Oooh, so many good memories of Alta with you in our non-honor classes.
It's fun to see you guys! It has been way too long. I can't believe you have been married a year already. Looks like Halloween was spooky as ever!
How did I miss this post?! So great...how we wish we could have been with you all on Halloween!
