Day 5
Once again I was able to eat lunch with the girls and I worked to about 3:00. This time I did not go back to work right after lunch. Instead I sat in with M3 on her virtual field trip to the zoo. It was a trip through the African rainforest and we saw giraffes, snakes, lizards, hippos, and more. I think I liked it more than M3 as she doesn't really like animals and told me before that if her class goes on a field trip to the zoo she would not go. But I thought she would enjoy a virtual trip.
Later on, the girls and I were able to go outside and play some basketball. Other than that, M1 and M2 have been couch potatoes, binge watching Modern Family. M3 did get some finger knitting done again today. After dinner, we couldn't decide what move to watch so M3 and I played Monopoly Deal while the two big girls just did their own thing.
One funny thing that happened today was that my mom learned a new English word and started using it. I received a silly text from someone regarding an NHL trade and I said, "What an idiot!" My mom asked what is an idiot and we explained it to her. Then she started calling the girls idiots. "Hey idiot, turn on casino for me."
Day 6
Not much going on today - I worked most of the day. I did get out at lunch time to bring home some McDonalds. The girls and grandma had a craving.
To avoid being couch potatoes (the girls are saying that phrase a lot this week) the whole break, M1 and M2 actually did some homework that was assigned to them over the break. They also started preparing the frosting for the cake they are going to bake on Friday, along with M3.
After dinner we watched the hockey game and the Leafs lost again - tough week for them. It would have been a ho-hum day but something exciting happened just before bedtime. The girls usually sit with grandma for a bit before they go to sleep, especially if she's playing her on-line casino games. I was in my room with M3 and M1 was watching grandma play. We hear some cheering and my mom saying, "Again! Again!" So M3 goes over to see what's happening. Then there's more noise and M2 goes over. Eventually they call me over too. My mom kept getting free spins - first she got 10, then before the 10 spins were done, she got another 10, then again and again. In total, she got 40 free spins on a 60 cent wager. She won $132 on that spin and ended up winning over $300 for the day. So she said she would treat us to sushi lunch tomorrow (Uber Eats, of course). The girls like sushi and the game she was playing was a sushi game where her free spins came about because she had three shrimps in a row (or something like that). Nice to end the night on a positive note again.
