So it was for our bum lambs this morning. We have a new bum lamb - Bucky. He was a triplet and his mom only had enough milk for twins, so he's keeping Cutie company. With cabin fever raging through our house, I caved and allowed the girls to bring them in the house which was very exciting for both the lambs and the girls.
The lambs soon realized, however, that they had a choice to make. The choice wasn't as easy as the comfort of a roof over their heads and a warm fire or huddled in a shed in cold, rainy weather. Oh, no. To be inside meant being subjected to this...
The dress-up box.
Good angel ...
or wicked witch?
Brainy ...
or debutante?
Elfish lambs.
It seemed to be right about here that one whispered to the other 'Let's blow this joint!' and they made their decision. The shed has soft straw in it. That's not so bad.

Ooooh! I love it! How cute!
That is beyond precious! What fun for the kids.
Priceless! Those lambs are so cute. Out of curiosity, how big is your land Sarah?
Looks like a great time! How fun to bring the lambs in the house. Was it messy? ;P
I feel so stupid asking this...
Why do they always look like they have a green stripe on their backs?
Lindsay, we have just under six acres. Not too small, but we'd like much more.
Kyre - fun, huh? It wasn't too messy. We brought them in right after they'd evacuated after they'd eaten, so we were safe for a bit. lol
Jimmy, not a stupid question - those green stripes are grease pens markings. We mark them like that so that we can keep track of them. At first it's to keep track of which momma's baby is having trouble (not enough milk or being rejected. Later, when they're bummed, it's to keep track of them when they're in with the big mob of sheep. We want them to socialize with the other sheep so that they don't think that they're human, but we need a way to keep tabs on them since they don't have a mom to watch out for them.
Playing dress up is always fun, especially if you get to dress the lambs. Great photos.
Ha ha! Those were great!
Aunt Sarah, those are hilarious pictures! My favorite is the policeman and the jail one.
