Going Green!

It's funny how a little green in the front of your house can make a huge difference. For starters, it feels like we live in a house now instead of a construction zone. Hopefully, we will have less dust, although, I doubt it since we are still surrounded by about 3 acres of dust. Next year we can actually build a snowman in the front yard. Chris wouldn't let the kids build one this year because he said we would just end up getting too muddy. :( Next I can start working on my flowers and bushes. So many choices!

Definitely the longest part of the whole process was putting in the sprinkler system.

Chris showing the kids how the sprinklers work...they actually seemed interested (for a minute, at least).

We have amazing family that always come to help. Here they are laying the sod. Between the three men and a little help from me and my sister-in-law we laid the whole front yard in an hour and a half! :)

I don't have pictures of Chris grading and compacting the yard but we seriously had the flattest yard around. We had several people ask how we did it....take my advice AND DON"T ASK! :)

BEAUTIFUL!!
