A Week Without Testosterone!

This week was Week Without Walls for SSIS High School. Mike is in Bali and Aidan is in Thailand. Both are traveling home today. Brenna and I are excited to see the boys again, but we've had a very fun week together. Here's what we did while the alpha males were away:

• Went out for dessert - one of those chocolate cake type things where chocolate oozes out! (Like the Chocolate Nemesis at Berry in Shanghai - YUM!)
• Watched My Sister's Keeper on a SCHOOL night! Pass the tissues. Why did they change the ending from the book?
• Ate salmon and greek salad on our terrace. We usually have Terrace Tuesday and order pizza, but we made it more civilized.
• Played countless games of Slap Jack. I won most, or maybe even ALL of them. 
• I taught Bren how to play Gin Rummy. (No gin or rum was used.)
• We went to see Whip It at the theater on a SCHOOL night. After it ended we snuck in to watch the end of This Is It. That Michael sure can move.
• After the movie we stopped at the arcade, aka The LOUDEST Place on the Planet, and watched some Vietnamese teenage boys dance on one of those dance pad games - they were amazing! Then we played several games of basketball shoot-out.  

I'm anxious to see Mike and Aidan this evening, but I'll be sad to say goodbye to Girl's Week. This was the first time Bren and I have ever spent this much time alone. I hope it's not the last.
