Preparing for winter

Lucas is suffering through a slight fever, though it's nowhere near as bad as the last one. However, he's also got a very nasty cough, which sounds like it's coming from the chest, and when you combine the two, it's been giving him some sleepless nights. On the plus side, he is a very happy kid during the day, and the fever/cough doesn't seem to be slowing him down at all.

Last weekend, Marilu put me to work and we started preparing for winter. One of those tasks was to break down the table and chairs on the back deck. I hadn't really thought about it until I saw other people doing it, since this is the first winter we've had the set, but I suppose if we got another 14 ft of snow this winter, it's bound to come crashing through the glass top.

Anyway, the whole point of that paragraph is to serve as introduction to today's photo. After we took apart one of the chairs, Lucas decided he was going to kick back and relax in it. He's got a good start on a career in middle management apparently.
