make-shift baby gate

Ugh! Excuse the blurriness of this pic!

Anyway, these black ottomans have now become our make-shift baby gate for the little hallway area. The hall, by the front door, is usually where we drop all of our things (like my purse, shopping bags, mail, etc...) I guess this would be considered our "hot spot" as some people call their areas. So anyway, Jenna used to like going over there to see what she could get herself into. But not anymore! So far this is working well! And yes, the dogs can go around it or jump over it. Max just happened to be standing by her when I was taking the picture and I thought it was cute that they were together (as they usually are.)
