Lake for President

In the spirit of election week, I've come up with a fantastic idea. Why not nominate Lake for President? I like it. He's already a ham. He's been practicing his perfectly pitched political smile, & seemlingly effortless crowd-pleasing gestures.

He's a charmer, no doubt about it. And, like most politicians, he can be coniving. In fact, just earlier this week, we took a trip to Babies R Us. I foolishly allowed him to hold a box of "Biter Biscuits", which are used for teething. Every time I looked at him, he would lift the box up to his face and flash an enormous grin. When I arrived at the checkout, I took the box of Biter Biscuits out of his little paws, only to discover a six-inch gaping hole in the boxtop. He'd chewed right through it, the little devil. I fished a large amount of cardboard out of the roof of his mouth, however, I'm sure he managed to ingest a bit of extra fiber. At least he has a sense of humor. He chose to devour the "biter biscuits" and not the baby wipes. I asked the cashier if I could return the damaged box, but she didn't buy it.


Another great reason to elect Lake for Prez? He's great at make-believe. In fact, he pulls off the fantasy gig like the best of them.













He's a man of many hats. And coats.



But, it's fall in Indiana, so there's been some cooler temps. When the cooler temps arrive, so do the leaf dropping gnomes.


Unless of course, you take a trip to the pumpkin patch on a day it's almost 85 degrees. Those hot days render pumpkin patch visits nearly unbearable for babies. They start hallucinating from the heat, and start seeing pumpkins floating in trees..



Which is exactly why Lake told me the platform for his Presidential run is Global Warming.








Vote 4 Lake, you won't be sorry.
