Elbow Greasin'

Daddy worked hard today.

Saturday is often a day Tyson likes to do projects. Play Mr. Fix-It.

Today's project: fix the broken fence gate.

I can't even say how amazing it is to be married to one so handy.

He spent many hours out there today...working, working, working.

When Tyson was little, his dad had the kids do deep cleaning on Saturdays.  It was called "Elbow Greasin".  I figure that's probably one of the reasons he gets charged on Saturday morning, ready to "get things done".  I'd like to say I'm the same....but I'm not.  My elbows are pretty rusty when it comes to deep cleaning and house maintenance.  Tyson occasionally looks at me and the kids and thinks, "Where is my army lined up with sponges and sprays in hand ready to battle the dusty baseboards, dirty doorknobs, and un-oiled wooden furniture?!"

Perhaps one day Elbow Greasin' will live again.
