Nothing beats nature in the entertainment department. It is fascinating.

J. is taping the Life series on the Discovery channel for us right now and the girls cannot get enough of it. Alright. I can’t get enough of it either,  I love watching it with them. Besides seeing animals in their environment the cinematography is unbelievably amazing. It is simply gorgeous.

Now for the past two days I have been infatuated with another sort of movie. The live cam of Molly the Barn Owl. Have you seen her? And now she has owlets, too! I’ve been checking in on her all day. I showed Addie and EJ this morning and they were kind of fascinated, too.

I figured Gracie would be all over it, so afterschool I introduced her to Molly, too. But I made the mistake of showing her while she was having her snack.

“Um, Mama? What is that owl doing?”
“Uh…I think she is having a little snack, too. But I don’t think it is banana chocolate chip bread. It looks like it might be a mouse, maybe?”
“YUCK! That is disgusting! I can’t watch this.”

Ha – perhaps she was not as enamored as I thought she would be.  I emailed the link to Em’s teacher this afternoon and she and her son got to see one of the owls hatch this evening. I’m so bummed, I wanted to see that! It was probably during the only hour today that I didn’t check in on them.

Go check ‘em out, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. They are slightly addictive.
