Cold water, not hot chocolate

Yesterday was a scroching, sweltering hot day, sunshine everywhere.

"I might as well lie down and have a glass of cold water. Give myself a reward after working hard under the sun, doesn't that make me feel a little bit better!" - I thought to myself.

So I took a bottle of water out of the freezer with some ice cubes from the refrigerator.

"Help me with some of my housework please!" - My mother screamed from the kitchen, frightened me.

"I will." - I shouted.

I ran down the kitchen to cook some vegetables while my mother was planting seeds in her little beautiful garden.

I came back to my bedroom and saw that the ice cubes had melted in the glass.

"Well I guess it's still cold enough for me to enjoy." - I thought to myself.

Was the water level in the glass higher, lower, or in the same place compared to where it was before the ice cubes melted?
