On Halloween I got this idea in my head to make Isabelle a Halloween costume. So we went out and got some fabric which became this:

I even added quilting detail on it. Is that what this is called…the cross lines?

And waaa laaa pretty little costume for Isabelle. She looked sooo adorable in it. Here’s the front:

And the back with wings. I could scream she looked so cute.

Too bad she didn’t feel that way. She fussed so much we couldn’t even get a good picture. And then she spit up on it.

I’ve been meaning to write about how the dogs took to Isabelle but really there isn’t much to tell. The first day we brought her home the dogs didn’t really see her because she was in her car seat on the bed. Nestle kept wandering around the house because she could smell her. She knew something was different but couldn’t figure it out. That is until Isabelle started to cry. Right away Waldo jumped onto the bed forgetting completely that he’s not allowed. Alan yelled at him to jump down… actually to be more accurate, he screamed the house down. Since then the dogs pretty much ignore Isabelle. Once in a while they’ll come over and sniff her. Waldo tries to lick her. But other than that she might as well not be here. Go figure…they even sleep through her crying.

Wish Alan was still home with us. We are alone.

We are talking about him taking his family leave which means another 6 weeks off at reduced pay. I don’t know…reduced pay….and we have to worry about whether his insurance lapses. But home with us…heavenly.
