I thought it was really clever how she used a pair of old stall doors, hinges and all, to start her project.
And I lifted a bale of hay.
Otherwise, the whole project was Carrie's from inception to completion.
I would have been a lot more hesitant about cutting into the wall.
Carrie framed everything out with scraps we had laying around. Farms are great for having a lot of space to leave random junk you might (or might not) use one day.
I married for for many reasons. Mad skillz was on the list!
Not that we had everything laying around.
"Busy day here getting ready for two new additions...... ❤🐾🐈" Carrie posted.
"We’re getting a TIGER?!?!" Ellie replied.
"More like two miniature panthers 😁😉. Couldn't resist getting that blanket for them, hehehe." Carrie said.
That's when Sonya jumped in. "The rare black barn panthers. :)"
Sonya delivered a pair of kittens the next day.
They were part of a quartet she rescued.
The kittens were about 6-weeks old.
Aria was the adventurer of the pair.
She was the first one Sonya caught and the first one to venture forth.
Sonya named her Aria, because she sang for her food!
'Burrito' was more timid. She has a patch of white on her chest to help tell her apart from her sister.
Sonya thought she was a little boy at first.
Carrie's decided to rename her to "Tsuki." It plays off multiple references including the 'moon' on her chest.
Somehow, Shane was in his own world and never realized what was going on. I'd told him Mommy was working on a surprise!
Carrie spent hours on Friday in the barn getting things ready. \
Saturday, Sonya drove up for the delivery. She rolled up in a Charger. I heard her roll onto the property. I said something and it went in one Shane ear and out the other. I went to the barn to play photographer and he didn't notice I was gone!
I made him come outside to say "Goodbye" as Sonya was leaving, but the boy remained clueless.
He didn't ask any questions either, so Carrie and I decided to let it roll. We'd surprise him with the kittens after the beach trip.
If Shane was old enough for Facebook he would have had to have been truly oblivious to remain ignorant.
Carrie posted all sorts of pictures. Some were her attempts to handle the cuteness overload.
Others were dealing with the challenges kittens bring.....like Aria using her arm to climb to new heights!
And if there's any doubt that Carrie posted the pictures: Notice the Starfleet insignia on the saddle pad!
