What's a guy to do...

on his day off when the Beetle is done?

 He takes apart and welds and fixes a tricycle his wife bought at an antique store for $5.

 Then he preps it for painting and tells her to pick out colors. 

{it was red, I chose fern green and light blue}

 Then he hangs the pieces so she can prime and paint them.

He mows the round pen.

Then he heads into town to put a new disposal in his daughter's house.

 What does his wife do? 

She quickly paints the pieces and then thoroughly cleans and organizes her pantry. 

{It had gotten to the "did a tornado hit just your pantry?" stage}

 Then after supper when the paint is all dry they put the trike back together and there it is. 

So cute and so usable. Hudson will be thrilled.
