Painting

Ever since we moved into our house 6 1/2 years ago, we have talked about painting the exterior of the house. A few months ago we finally got serious about it and planned on doing it the last week of July. Mitch took the whole week off and we were ready. It turned out to be the hottest week in Seattle ever. It was HOT. It was not fun! There is about a million things I would rather be doing in 104 degree heat than painting outside. The kids made it hard for both of us to work together so Mitch ended up doing most of it. We still have the drain pipes, gutters, and front door to paint, but we are so thankful that it is over. The final color is blue and we were a little shocked when it first went on because it was REALLY blue, with the trim done it looks much better. We are most grateful to have it done!
