Make it Pretty Monday - Week 61

Hello World!  We have rogue kittens.  Their antics are so much fun to watch.  They have been practicing climbing the baby gate, and sometimes they have been successful upon reaching the other side.  Often times, they end up not quite making it.  It won't be long before we have three little kittens running throughout the house.  Oh goodness.  They will be 5 weeks old tomorrow.  It was so hard to get a good picture of them.  But, here they are...cuteness if I do say so. 

Welcome to Week 61 of:
