What do married couples really do after the kids go to sleep?

...Curl up by the fire and sip hot cocoa while wrapped in a snuggly blanket?...No.

...Put on comfy pj's,  pop in a favorite romantic comedy, and eat some delicious buttery popcorn? No.  (If you know us at all - you KNOW this is a big fat no!)

...Then maybe cozy up to their favorite someone and exchange jovial anecdotes over a glass of fine wine?  Again no.

Ok.  How about chase this nasty creature around the backyard, with a broom stick, in your underwear* while your wife laughs hysterically and takes pictures you!  A most definite YES!  And people wonder how we keep things interesting after all these years and with all our kids.
Thank you gross opossum for a wonderful evening of adrenaline spiked entertainment and hilarity!  

*Note all pictures of my husband in his underwear have been destroyed (they were blurry anyway *wink*)!

all I really need to do is press a 'like' button... why has the rest of the world failed to conform to facebook!?!

PS - I am fairly sure we WILL be sipping wine after our children are in bed. ;-)

I had a flashback to childhood when Greg used to chase us around the yard with a croquet mallet. Thankfully, though, he was fully clothed.

Oh goodness ... even though you told me on the phone before I read this, it still made me laugh again! THESE are the stories that are so fun and the memories that I love to laugh about with spouses ... and, by the way, Eli has said several days in a row that we need to get together again. So, in between the insanity we both schedule amidst, we'd love to have you over for dinner!
