Dirt or Grass?

Since we moved in our backyard has just been dirt.  The kids know how to make the best of the situation. They wanted grass but didn't seem to mind playing in the dirt.  They dug holes, make roads, collected rocks, make fairy house out of weeds, hung out in their "sand box" --I just loosened up some dirt with a shovel.  But the dirt was so ugly, tracking through my house, and we had bigger plans.  Oh and I just love our view of desert, trees, and mountains right from our back yard, we are lucky.

So we had sod installed, a nice paver border, and pea gravel spread around the rest of the yard.  We love it!!  It is so pretty to see green out the window.  (Most of those yellow spots have turned green now. )

This was the first night we had grass, they just wanted to lay on it!
