Break

I've been looking forward to Thanksgiving break for awhile. The girls would have a whole week off!  Imagine, no early mornings, no lunches to make, no homework to do, no kids to wake from naps to go pick up the girls.  Today is day 1 of the break.  This is what it has been like:

1. Austria wakes up before 6.
2. Anya proclaims boredom at 6:55 (am).
3. Chores are finished by 8.
4. The dining table is covered in remnants of painting by 9.
5. Reading, math and iPad games are done by 10.
6. Pretending to be My Little Pony Characters by 11.
7. Olympia is so excited, no nap for her.
8. The Croods watched by 3.
9. Brownies baking by 4.
10. Starfall, My Little Pony Games and pretending to be the Croods by 5. Olympia asking for Daddy (but he is off to take a tour of FedEx that begins at 11pm!)
11. Starving children devour spaghetti by 6.
12. Clean up, hide and seek, Family Home Evening by 7.
13. Bedtime ongoing . . .

Shesh.  Can I keep this pace all week?  I thought they would be overjoyed to just be home all day.  I thought they would play pretend and color like old times. School has ruined them!  I would have liked to play outside for a few hours, but the high of 43 didn't entice me since Washington is just getting over Bronchiolitis (which I hadn't heard of before last week).
