I can’t help but notice that lambikins are wearing faux-shearling lambcoats. Odd, that.

2 M. 11.14.06 at 2:35 pm

That makes it doubly cute.

Knobbly knees!!!

5 chet's momma 11.14.06 at 2:38 pm

double heart shaped nosicles!

6 jaypo 11.14.06 at 2:38 pm

Teho, they’re slepping out in the barnyard. Listen….[honk-shu, honk-shu]

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for those lammykins.

7 mofo 11.14.06 at 2:39 pm

YUMMY!!

8 little miao 11.14.06 at 2:41 pm

awww, lambkins wearing lambcoats, what could be more cute?? I want to kiss their little noses and the tops of their fuzzy heads.

9 A thinker 11.14.06 at 2:46 pm

Lambies in lamby-coats!!

They have such innocuous little faces.

10 A thinker 11.14.06 at 2:49 pm

Teho, why did “geeshe” make it into the vocab?

Just curious…think I missed something?

11 A thinker 11.14.06 at 2:51 pm

OK, duh, nevermind. Now I feel stupid…

12 Miette 11.14.06 at 3:05 pm

oh da lambs! an da cute! and da eaaars! and da noses! and *poit*

13 Miette 11.14.06 at 3:06 pm

kinda reminds me of Pixar’s short “Boundin’”. . . what with the shearing an stuff. Can these lambs do a jig?

14 Teughcats 11.14.06 at 3:08 pm

Thank goodness – an antidote (cute-i-dote?) to the grasshopper stories! Such sweet little behbies.

15 warrior rabbit 11.14.06 at 3:08 pm

Sheepies! The one on the right looks like he was just starting to say something when the pic was snapped.

16 Peg of Tilling 11.14.06 at 3:11 pm

“Wash your coat! Drink yer milk! Clean yer stall! I suppose we have to count ourselves too!”

17 Allie and Jojo-s Mom 11.14.06 at 3:15 pm

Makes me Sheep-y just lookin at ‘em.

Baaaa

18 ebee 11.14.06 at 3:16 pm

Meg, LURV the “Pink ear action” rollovers…

I thought instantly of Wallace and Gromit’s “Close Shave”…where’s the little bandaid “X”s on their widdle bee-hinds?

19 The Guy Over There 11.14.06 at 3:16 pm

Those lambcoats somehow remind me more of armadillo pads.

I wouldn’t mind seeing a sheepadillo. I’m sure it would mind, though, since I’d want to roll their baa bodies around.

20 pyrit 11.14.06 at 3:20 pm

Awww! These lambs got fleeced at the baa-baa shop so they went to Woolworths.
(neeeeeeaaooorrrrwwwmmmm !)

21 jaypo 11.14.06 at 3:32 pm

warriorR, what do you think he was about to say?

22 Stephanie C. 11.14.06 at 3:35 pm

Sheeps!!! I love them!! This photo helps make a semi-crummy day better.

23 Villeline 11.14.06 at 3:38 pm

Are those lambs Scandinavian? No lambs are cuter than the Scandinavian breeds. :)

24 Holly 11.14.06 at 3:40 pm

Aww!!! Look at the babies in the coats! So cute! They look like little old ladies in sheep coats. They need little purses and a brooch for their coats.

25 Lauri 11.14.06 at 3:40 pm

Moist nosicles! Moist nosicles!

“Geeshe” is definitely an established cute-ism. I may have taken some liberties with its Glossary entry, of course.

27 Cat 11.14.06 at 3:45 pm

Lambies in coats to keep their wool nice and clean so I can spin it!!

28 Kimberly Knits 11.14.06 at 3:46 pm

Is it wrong that I keep envisioning yarn when I look at them…

29 pyrit 11.14.06 at 3:50 pm

Villeline – I think “Scan” means something different to some of the Peeps here.
I think these lambs are South American. I could snorgle a Brazillion of them until the end of obolivian.

30 Skwerly 11.14.06 at 3:54 pm

Two sweet leetle smiling, pink-eared, knobbly-kneed lambies all a-sweater on a Tuesday morning…

Can the world GET any better?

I submit that it cannot!

31 Zippy McPinhead 11.14.06 at 4:00 pm

Those are REAL lambskins they are wearing. Gives the pic a creapy – nice with a glass of Chianti – feel to it.

“If a lamb dies, an orphan lamb can be fostered onto the ewe. An old-fashioned trick was to cover the new lamb with the dead lamb’s skin. The first lamb may have been brown and the new lamb snowy white. But even with head and ears poking out from under the old skin, the sheep will accept the lamb because it smells correct.”

Awwww :)

32 Renee 11.14.06 at 4:26 pm

Awwww!! Widdle lammies in coats! too much cute for me!!

33 anon 11.14.06 at 4:31 pm

they have hearts for noses!!!!

34 kayte 11.14.06 at 4:50 pm

I looooove little baby sheeps!

35 kirsty 11.14.06 at 5:07 pm

I took the pic and these lambs were in England, not sure of the breed, but I assume good old fashioned British lambs@

36 Laurie C 11.14.06 at 5:10 pm

kirsty, lovely lambs. Are those in fact real lambskin coats, or an incredible simulation?

37 Aubrey 11.14.06 at 5:34 pm

Kristy – these little lambekins have pulled the wool over your eyes:

Lamb #1:
“I’ve had it with the pastel eggs, the bunnies…”

Lamb #2:
“…and the little chicks – BAAAAAAAAH! We don’t share time!”

Lamb #1:
“It’s like they’re trying to hide us under a blanket – and what’s WITH these wool blankets, anyway? Can anyone say ‘redundance’?”

Lamb #2:
“I can’t tell you – besides, I’m having too much trouble trying to SMILE! But next year we take over! Welcome to Springtime victims, and enjoy our FLEECE-STER!”

38 AmyH 11.14.06 at 5:41 pm

Sigh. Baby livestock. Heart…melting…

39 Arvay 11.14.06 at 6:11 pm

Awww! Fuzzy and knobby and wide-eyed!

40 HeidStar 11.14.06 at 6:18 pm

Kimberly Knits, much better to envision lambswool than lamb chops. ;-)

Cuties!

41 A thinker 11.14.06 at 6:23 pm

Ah, thanks Teho.

42 Redzilla 11.14.06 at 6:36 pm

Although I know real lambskins *are* used in some situations, I do not believe these to be real lambskins. I say this with no expertise in real lambskins, but as someone who is painfully, intimately familiar with faux-shearling fleece, which this appears to be. (Once made 15 lamb costumes for a 2nd grade play.)

43 s. 11.14.06 at 7:06 pm

OMG!!!!! what cuties!!

44 Arvay 11.14.06 at 7:11 pm

It’s shear madness!

45 thehawke 11.14.06 at 7:50 pm

SHEEPIES!!!
sheepiessheepiessheePIES!!!

I love sheepies!

46 Kar 11.14.06 at 8:02 pm

Can’t say I’ve done it personally, but with the uh, previously used skins they deliberately try to cover some of the head & tummy, not just the back.

47 Martha in Washington 11.14.06 at 8:05 pm

I absotively LLLOOOVVVEEE sheeps!!! The US needs more sheep. When I was in Scotland they were everywhere and I was in Heaven! I wanted to smuggle one home but it wouldn’t fit in my luggage.
I always wondered…why don’t sheep shrink in the rain?

48 Aubrey 11.14.06 at 8:12 pm

Martha:

Farmartinizing?

49 ka9q's wife 11.14.06 at 8:48 pm

i want to kiss their little noses and snorgle their necks.

50 Villeline 11.14.06 at 10:12 pm

Kirsty! Near enough! They are Right-Side-Of-The-Planet lambs! Hah! Animal breeds south of the Rhine tend to be shockingly ugly. Except the donkeys. The donkeys rock! :D

51 Andrea DuBois 11.14.06 at 10:42 pm

i’ve heard of a wolf in sheep’s clothing but this is just silly!

52 Kate 11.14.06 at 10:43 pm

Anyone distressed by limericks should look away now.

I was shocked when these cute li’l lambs
Let fly with a chorus of DAMN!!!s
“You want us to work?
We say “Never, you jerk!”
Just wait til we grow into rams.”

*checks into Specialist Clinic for Verse Disorders*

53 Lauri 11.14.06 at 10:57 pm

Your verses sound wonderfully Ordered to me, Kate! ;)

You’ve a knack!

54 Robbie 11.14.06 at 11:09 pm

Awwww…lambies in pajamies!

Um, that wouldn’t be one of their relatives they’re wearing?

55 Aubrey 11.15.06 at 12:00 am

Robbie – a lamb-t, perhaps? Shear-ster?

56 warrior rabbit 11.15.06 at 3:44 am

“warriorR, what do you think he was about to say?”

Ummm….something fLAMBoyant?

57 viola 11.15.06 at 4:26 am

I would have thought they said “zheesh!” so as not to confuse the peeps. But, oh – they sure are anerable, either way!

58 the honourable Gladys Anstruther 11.15.06 at 8:05 am

MINT SAUCE!
well some one had to say it.

59 Alicia 11.20.06 at 9:01 pm

It reminds me of the cute sheep in the Wallace and Gromit short.

60 Subhangi 11.23.06 at 1:22 pm

Armadillambs?
