Construction ~ Week 12 & Week in Review ~ 9/10

I figured I might as well take care of both in one post, since it was a slow construction week.  The siding was supposed to be finished, but the porch has not been trimmed.  Our electrician was supposed to start, but he is behind schedule due to hurricane repairs.  He will hopefully start this week.  Our plumber is also behind schedule.  All the rain kept any work from being done outside, including steps.  Once those are done they will grade the dirt away from the house, but it's just been too wet.  We are hoping for a more productive week this week, but I know this is just par for the course.

While it may not have been busy at the house, it was busy in the life of the Lankfords.  On Sunday morning we got up and honored Ned's request to go to breakfast at Shoney's.  I'm all about a hot fudge cake from there but hadn't done breakfast in awhile.  We spent the rest of the morning and nap time at home.  Once Avery was up we went to Lolli and Poppa's for dinner.

We enjoyed a day at home on Monday.  Avery was still suffering from a runny nose and was not napping the best.  I had some school work to do, and then it was early to bed for everyone.

School got off to a fairly good start.  I have a talkative homeroom and feel like I've had to fuss more than normal in the first week of school.  The weather was crazy, humid, and rainy, and I was pooped by then end of every day.  A little break came on Friday when we had a 2-hour delay for fog.  We got to school at 10 a.m., had lunch at 11:15, then had our big planning time from 12:40-2:05.  Not too bad for a Friday.  Avery had a good week but started getting up pretty early.  She was going to bed earlier because she was so tired, but she was fussing when she woke up, so I knew she needed more rest.  Ned also had a good week but was still very busy from hurricane claims.

I shared much of our day Saturday already.  Ned got home mid-afternoon, and I went to the store.  We had a yummy meal of steaks, Pioneer Woman Potato Bundles, and asparagus.

We have a busy week coming up with several afternoon and nighttime things going on in addition to having a full week of school
