Yesterday afternoon, Tony's office announced that there would be a hat contest today. The winner would be chosen at the 4:30 meeting today, and would receive a free half day off of work. Tony decided that he liked the sounds of that, so he decided to participate. We agreed that with the playoffs going on, it would need to be something to do with the Cardinals to win. I suggested the use of the "Rally Squirrel." During all three of the games that the Cardinals beat the Phillies, a squirrel showed up on the field. The most memorable visit was the second home game at Busch Stadium were the squirrel ran across home plate during an at bat! "Rally Squirrel" fever has now taken over St. Louis.
After visiting a pet store, Tony found a stuffed squirrel that would work perfectly. I am sad to say that he defaced his LSU hat to make this creation, but it came out great! Plus, it is all easily removable with no harm done once he wins the contest!
Reni contributed by suggesting that he make a coordinating sign. Like I said, my Astros loving heart hates to see all of this, but I am excited about the possibility of Tony having free time off!
