Back to the usual

Today is the first day after three weeks that Bret is back to work. It is also the first Monday since the start of the school year that Ella is home. It is the first official day of her summer vacation. I guess things are back to the usual. It's been a nice quiet morning and afternoon so far. Maddie decided to wake up at 8 and Ella slept until almost 9:30. That was the opposite of their usual waking schedules. I was hoping they would sleep in. :) We laid in bed and watched a cartoon, ventured downstairs for some breakfast and are now lounging again. Spongebob is on the TV and I am at my computer. I tried to do the majority of my housework yesterday so we could have a nice leisurely day today.
