After hours

While I do not like cleaning up after a big dinner party (today I think we managed to use every dish in our kitchen) I do enjoy the time spent cleaning with my husband--chatting in the kitchen about how the evening went, exchanging small bits of news and gossip, and enjoying one last glass of wine (him) or cup of decaf tea (me).  

Sharing the chore together makes it less miserable, and as parents usually home with our toddler daughter, it's almost like a mini date (almost, but not quite--the whole counter wiping thing really isn't very romantic).
