Yesterday we spent the day working in the front yard.  When we bought our house the grass was dead due to not being watered all summer.  We knew we would have to rip it out and start over.  Yesterday was the day.  We got up early and headed to Home Depot to rent a sod cutter.  Craig worked on cutting the sod while I worked on cleaning up the dead sod and bagging it.  After about 6 hours we had most of it done.  They boys pretended to help but mostly just played on the rolled up sod.
