Before is the bottom picture and after is the top one. We also took off some of the trim under the front. I know there isn't a lot of difference but I don't mind it so much now. It is a sage color whereas before it had over five different shades of blue. In the front were three and in the back there were two more. Now it is all one color, green.
For B's birthday we went camping but on his actual birthday my dad and I painted our house, so B wouldn't have to. Changing the house's color was really what I wanted but not making him paint it was his gift. He did end up having to do a few touch up spots but overall, it was VERY VERY little. My brother M did a bit too to help. I am horribly afraid of heights so he helped where I couldn't reach.
At one point Thing 1 asked me if I was scared (I was standing on our small ladder that only has three steps on it). I told her I was a bit and she then replied, "But Mom you are only like two feet off the ground, that isn't very scary at all. What is the deal?" Yes, Thing 1 does talk like this, mostly because she talks like me. Needless to say, it was awesome having a five year old point out how ridiculous it is to be afraid while standing so close to the ground, but it didn't change the fear factor for me.
