The Hancock Officiating Crew Takes on Halloween

I couldn't decide which picture of Cael in his outfit is the cutest, so I decided to post them all. After all, let's face it; they're all the cutest. He loved dressing up to look like Daee. I think he had more fun with the outfit than with getting candy. First, just Cael dressed up to go to the annual SJ Halloween parade. We marched around the streets of our little town, beginning at the Apache County Courthouse and ending at the city park. Cars with parents and grandparents lined the parade route, honking their horns in support of the little ones. The scene was right out of a Norman Rockwell painting, small town America at its best. I loved it, Cael endured it (mostly by being carried by his mom and dad), and Paul wanted to be parked on the side of the road honking.

Notice how the whistle is always in Cael's mouth. Isn't it just like a Hancock to be ready to call the infraction? (I type that tongue-in-cheek, as they have contests to see who can throw the fewest flags or blow the whistle the fewest times.)

Sporting the Flag



 Later in the day, we all donned our outfits to form the Hancock crew. Paul was the most excited to dress in his clothes, as you can see from the huge smile on his face below.

You can take the girl out of the cheerleading outfit (and put her in a referee get-up), but you can't take the hands-on-hips-smile-on-lips cheerleader out of the girl.

You have to love the old-school knickers and knee-high socks.
Why do you think I fell in love with Paul?

Ten-yard penalty for being too adorable.

 All three of us are together in one picture at the trunk-or-treat at the fairgrounds.
