We had a fun day on our fourth day of Spring Break. We didn't too anything too out of the ordinary, but we did get to know our next-door neighbor a little better since we were outside playing in the nice weather we had. She is a professional farmer who is part of a group that is trying to start an urban farm here in Evanston. She is all organic and full of information. She showed me where the people who lived here before us planted a garden and said she'd help in our efforts to garden this year! We might finally have a garden that lasts all season! She also has a fish pond in the backyard and invited the kids to come over and feed the fish. They had a great time watching the fish eat the food and swim around. We're finally getting to know our neighbors now that everyone is coming out of hibernation!
We also made some tissue paper flowers to brighten our home and watched a movie during the afternoon when it started to rain. Later that night we all went to my first pack meeting as the assistant cub scout leader. We had a good time watching a magic show and trying out some new tricks.
It wasn't the greatest day, but sometimes it's all about the little things. It's good to have down days like this sometimes, don't you think?

It sounds like you made the most of a quiet spring break week! Those tissue flowers are cute. And I'm excited to learn more about your organic farming neighbor...
Hope you enjoyed the beautiful weather today! We were so happy that it finally feels like spring.
