IT’S DONE!! IT’S DONE!!  IT’S DONE!!

I cannot wait to see it on him.  If I had been paid minimum wage for the hours I worked on this thing, it would be selling for about $300 bucks!  I just finished gluing the spots on the hood and sewing on the ears.  Procrastinate much?  A couple jokes came out of the whole process.  Scott came home yesterday to this (minus the spots on the hood):

He was like “Um, honey?  Do you just not like the bear?”  I replied, “Well it wasn’t like I could put a plastic bag over the kid’s head to glue spots on.”

This should give you some idea why you haven’t heard from me in several days.  And that’s just a small percentage.

Caleb and I picked out a red collar at Walmart the other day.  Yes, right out of the pet section.  And yes I did get a few strange looks trying collars on my toddler.  Scott said, “Are you gonna get him a leash too?”  Um.  Yeah.  I can see that now.

“Hello, child services?  Yeah these people just showed up at my door trick or treating.  I know the kid was dog and everything, but I think they took it a little too far.  Do you consider a leash and collar around his neck endangerment?”

That would go over well I’m sure.  So that’s a negative on the leash.

Caleb also just so happened to get this patriotic necklace from the children’s museum a few months ago.  It has a plastic disc on it that can be opened up so that you can draw on the paper inside.  It was on a red white and blue ribbon for the fourth.  So I took the disc off the ribbon because it will make the PERFECT tag for his collar!  I am so anxious to put it on him, but I don’t want to risk doing so too early since I literally don’t have time to reglue any spots!  Sorry the pictures have taken so long!  It wouldn’t be made by me if it wasn’t finished at the last possible second.  I did manage to squeeze in four episodes of Will and Grace last night when I should have been finishing it though ;)
