I somehow thought that putting a pool in the backyard would be quick and easy...we have a pool company doing all the work. We should just be able to jump in and enjoy! But, no. I forgot the ripple effect it would have on the rest of the yard. So, each weekend we spend all day top dressing the yard, planting plants, rearranging flowerbeds, etc., etc. This weekend was sod. Three pallets of sod. Saturday was a very productive day! We even had time to rototille a big section in the back of the pool to be ready for us to lay the remainder of the sod on Sunday. We went to bed, and the heavens opened! This morning our rain gauge told us that five inches of rain had fallen while we rested our weary, sore muscles! (There was only a 20% chance of rain last night HA!) We knew the sod had to be laid today -- so we have dealt with the mud and the muck all day! Yuck!! At one point this morning I looked at Colby and said, "Bud, why don't you let mom do that. You are going to get so dirty." He looked up at me with those sweet green eyes and said so seriously, "Mom, men were made to be dirty."

Aahh, sweet Colby! He's got it right--leave the dirty work for the boys! Unfortunately, you are the one who has to wash all that dirt and mud out! :)
