Backyard!

The big helper on the sod.

They dropped off the sod and we thought to ourselves "I hope that will be enough!"

After a little blood, a lot of sweat, and some of Luke's tears (he was sick and wanted to be held the whole time) we finished our little backyard! Hooray- instant grass. Gotta love it!

They even got a little sandbox. Does it remind you of something found on a golf course? (minus the sandbox toys)



TJ worked really hard putting in the sprinklers while we were up North. And last week we laid the sod and planted a few plants. I added a couple tomato plants yesterday so hopefully they will give us something. It's so fun to have it done- no more red dirt getting tracked all over the house! It's a little backyard and I was pretty glad when we were rolling out the sod. That gets a little tough. Anyway, we love it here and we love our house! We are so blessed.
