We've got sod! Andrea got to our local Home Depot early enough on Saturday to score what we thought was enough to cover the whole yard. She loaded her poor car with 24 rolls of the stuff, it was so loaded down that she bottomed out and her rear tires looked flat. After carefully backing the car into the driveway, she covered it with a tarp so the sod wouldn't dry out. It was quite a classy sight.

As of today, most of our backyard has grass and there's an in-ground sprinkler system in the works! Woo hoo!
