Halloween (written by the regular author)

After bestowing the honor of 'blog scribe' on the last post's guest writer, and seeing the lies that came out of that post, I have taken back all script duties. Not to spend too much time on last week's garbage post, but it should be noted that Henry is now regularly putting on his dad's KC ROYALS hat (not his Cardinals cap that his mom forces in his face every 5 minutes :) ). Additionally, Henry will attend no less than 15 Royals games/year as he grows up, and maybe one Cardinals game. So I will let you the reader make the decision as to what team Henry will be a fan of! If I were you, I would equate the 'guest post' to that of reading the National Enquirer.

On to this post. Laura and Aunt Jen made the decision that Henry would be a spider, and Bella would be a squirrel (since she loves to chase/cry/bark at them). On the Saturday before Halloween, we took Henry over to our friends the Lorei's for their annual Halloween bash. Henry's buddy Jack was there, and came as a very scary tiger! Henry loved the cookies Ashely had made, taking down three before dad decided that he had had enough night time sugar.



Watch out for this tiger and spider!

Henry's spider head was short lived!
 On Halloween, Laura and Aunt Jen got the 'kids' dressed, and took them over to Laura's friend Elizabeth's house for a party, while Reggie and Grandpa Bogart went to the Chiefs game. Laura loaded up Bella and Henry into his two-seater wagon, and they headed off to the party five blocks away. Henry loved his costume, and got a kick out of using the spider legs as his clubs to hit on stuff, including Bella. Bella was so dejected, she didn't even move when Henry hit her. Talk about some serious depression! Henry also loved getting candy. He hasn't grasped fully how it all works - he kept trying to eat it with the wrapper on :)
Bella: "Oh gosh, here we go again"
Henry: "You look weird Bella"

Our family - Bella hates life

Henry and Ned - Ned went as the car from Dumb and Dumber!

Time to find some candy


How much longer to I have to wear this

Here Bella, have this Apple Crusher - You'll feel better!

Henry's team wins the WORLD SERIES!!!!!

Back in the Lou soaking in 11 in 11!!!!!!!
 As many of you know we are a house divided, mom a Cardinals fan, dad a Royals fan.  So we left the decision up to Henry as to which team he would call his own.  The choice was obvious to him go with a winning organization full of rich tradition and the best fans in baseball or the Royals.  Henry wasn't around the last time the Cards won the world series but he thinks it's super cool that they won the night before mom and dad's wedding!!!! He's looking forward to a life time of games at Busch stadium and hopes to meet Fredbird and the Clydesdales one day soon.


Cheering the Redbirds on to victory in Game 7!!!
Jack & Henry- a new generation of Cards fans!!!
