You're right about the indoor space being the real issue. I felt pretty silly when I realized my girls were basically having a nightly bunk bed fight in there.

Yeah, my friend had that happen with her mailbox. It was this dark blue for years, then one morning it looked like a washed-out denim color. She even checked for paint drips on the ground, nothing. It's like @tyler492 said, things just lose their color when we're not looking. She started noticing her garden gnome was fading too, the red on his hat looked pink. Really makes you question your own eyes sometimes.

Gotta love those old houses, right?

Nah, you're mixing up the weekends. The Cleveland thing was back in March for Sarah's birthday. Last weekend was definitely Cincinnati, we drove down for the Reds game.

Ugh, two years with a sad fiddle leaf fig.
