merry and pippin

one fate-filled trip to the farmers market with some friends...

oye...

it's not that we hadn't talked about getting some kittens. but then there's my friend. holding one. talking to the nice farmer lady that is DESPERATELY trying to unload them. friend saying she LIKES that one. attracting OTHER people to see them. making them have a perceived demand...

and then we're walking to the car with the farmer lady's pet carrier and two little boy kittens inside...

let me introduce you to merry and pippin...

who are tearing up the house and thoroughly entertaining the children as i type.
