Progress?

Well, tonight is Grace's turn for having a picture put on the blog that she REALLY didn't want me to take.  You see, every day she brings home a sheet with her behavior for the day circled and waiting for me to initial.  A lot of days she forgets to have me sign it which isn't that big of a deal because she never has any problems at school.  Well, when she shoved a couple sheets over to me this morning to catch-up on all the signing, I noticed there were already some penciled in initials on two of the days.  It took me a LONG time staring at them before I definitively decided that I did not remember using a pencil and therefore did not write them myself.

Sorry for the graininess and odd coloring of the pic.  I had to mess around with the lighting when I uploaded it because the flash kind of blew everything out and this was the only shot I got before Grace noticed what I was doing and yanked the paper away.  I also had a lot of fun adding arrows and speech bubbles and text.  Hahahaha.

BUSTED!  Hahahaha.  Grace totally freaked out in a terrified kind of way and insisted that she was just drawing squiggly lines and wasn't trying to sign my initials.   She looked like she was about to cry, so I had mercy on her and let her think that I believed her and followed up by letting her know that she should never forge my signature in the future.  At least she's not bringing home red notes a la Sophie, right?   Hahahahaha.  What are we going to do with these kids???

On the progressive front, here are the promised pics of my efforts over the last two days.  The Living and Dining Rooms are now completely done {minus a good mopping} and tomorrow I should be able to manage the Front Hall and Stairs.

 The Living Room as shot from the Front Hall.  Please forgive the TERRIBLE natural lighting in this room.  It makes it almost impossible to ever get a decent shot in here.

 Taken from the Dining Room.  Where's Waldo?  Hahaha.

 A shot from the kitchen.

And one from inside the room itself.

And there you have it.  All in a day's work!  Stay tuned for tomorrow's update...
