Yay for Grass!

We have had so much rain lately that it is ruining our grass plans...and washing away all the dirt for the 4th time. After our drought this summer, we should be rejoicing with all this rain, but it makes landscaping impossible! The grass was all lined up to be delivered on Tuesday (tomorrow.) Lee called home this morning as he was leaving for work and told me that he just passed and 18 wheeler loaded full with sod. Sure enough, they landed at our house. I called our landscaper and he couldn't believe they were here. It was still so muddy, and he didn't have a crew lined up for us today, as he was giving the mud a chance to dry out a bit. Well, he pulled members from their other crews to get them out here. We ended up with 2- 18 wheelers of sod. It is starting to take shape. Looking good. About 12:30 today, our 20% chance of rain came in a huge down pour. The crew had mud everywhere. I felt so sorry for them. They worked as much as they could. I am putting in a few pictures of how it looks today. We still have some beds to finish and cleaning up of the trees that were already here.





There are 17 pallets there for the backyard.
This is Claire sporting her outfit that I made for her and Corinne.

Corinne and cousin Lauren...looking for trouble! :)

On Saturday, Corinne went to a dance camp at Vista Ridge H.S. where she spent the whole day playing and learning a routine. At 2:30, the parents got to come back to the school and watch. It was great! She loved every minute of it! That is her in the middle.
This is Corinne with her "ballet friends" Ellie and Bali.
This is what we woke up to Sunday morning. It had rained during the night. So beautiful! (Check out the dirt!) (Oh, and my gorgeous fence!)
We spent Sunday afternoon finishing all the cleaning out at our old house. We are set to close October 8. As I went through the kitchen checking all the cabinets and drawers, I just cried and cried! We have so many happy memories in that house. Not sure why I am taking it so hard, but it makes me tear just writing this. We had never planned to stay there...it is just hard. This is a picture of the girls in the garage as we finished up.
And, my most handsome boy, Bentley.

Doesn't he look sweet and innocent here???
