Grass!

We have been waiting for the day where we would have some actual grass for what feels like a long time.  This past weekend, it finally became a reality as we laid 3600 square feet of sod on the north side of our house, wrapping around to the front.

The progress went as follows...

First we started with weeds, weeds, and more weeds...

Then thanks to my farmer husband...

And a tractor and tiller...

And some great helpers, we are now the proud owners of this...

We could not be happier with the way things turned out.  The sod looks great and I can't wait for Colin to really be able to take advantage of his new softer landing spots.

The only glitch in our plans was when we finished laying the sod and started the watering process.  Apparently our well just couldn't take the constant use and continually dried up after an hour or so on the job.  Thankfully, our neighbors came to our rescue and we have been putting their well and water to good use ever since.  There is also some rain the forecast for later this week so we are hoping for a good soaking from mother nature soon. 

So the first summer project has been crossed off the list and I am so excited for what I am sure will be a lot of fun spent on the grass this summer and for many summers to come.

Things inside the house are getting kinda fun too...especially moments like this one.
