Boat...Boat...BOAT!!!

So as many of you know - all of you should actually know - husband bought a boat...a fairly large boat. Take a look - see it? Isn't it perdy??

A little history about this purchase - in a fast as lightening speed rendition - Overtime, debt, overtime, sick, overtime, pay debt, overtime, birthdays, overtime, sleep, overtime pay more debt, overtime, consumer debt free, overtime, BONUS, overtime, what to do with bonus, overtime, got cash, overtime, got the boat!

That's it in a nut shell. So what has he decided to name the boat? Ding Ding you guessed it - "Overtime"

So here is the interior of the cuddy - the sink and alcohol stove and the bed/table sitting area. It really is rather cozy and yet spacious! Oh and there's a porta potty as well - not pictured - we debated on if we would use it - but seriously with 3 boys and a BF - it WILL get used. Thankfully we found a nice marina where we will be able to clean out and fill the gas at so no worries!

So since it is our maiden voyage we had to have a bit of the bubbly!! Well BF & I did since Husband was driving and well we don't need him to get a BUI!! LOL =)

This picture here is of Silly Pants - apparently he was cold and needed to use BF's Disney blanket to hide in. See him?? The big black ball??

Here Prits sits with Mini - he LOVED watching the water and all the waves!
She seemed to enjoy it too!

Here Monkey, Prits & Silly Pants are relaxing in the cuddy. No you really can't see Silly as he was curled in a ball under the blanket - sound like a little deja vue?? lol

The only time Husband would share his chair was when Monkey wanted to sit with him. I am fairly certain that if I had asked I could have had a turn - but why do that to the man? Let him have his moment!!



A large part of the time on the boat was spent sitting with the boys "watching" the water. They were utterly fascinated with it. Go figure!

Here was Prits turn with the two big boys. Just sitting there enjoying the waves Husband was making....I am fairly certain she enjoyed watching the water with Mini a bit more!

When she wasn't laying with boys or watching the water with boys - she found a nice spot on the bow to lay and relax and have a moment alone. We picked her up a yoga mat - so she wouldn't fall off the boat...although at one point Husband sped off and I was certain she was going to roll right in the river!

After a while the boys found the bubble blower that Mini got from Nurse Neighbor for his birthday. We recently found out that all three boys think it is really cool. So needless to say once they found it they used that thing until all the bubble were gone!

Look at him - so focused - had he not needed to go to the bathroom when we got to Harriet Island I don't think he would have gotten out of that chair!

Here is Husband - the captain of the boat - basking in the wonder of what all the overtime gave him!

So be prepared for a summer on the river, lake or even a pond if he can get on it!

Oh and if you wonder - "Jen, why are there no pictures of you?" That would be because I am the only one that takes them - and well I don't really like to sit there requesting them be taken of me - mainly because I love those moments where everyone is just being. So know that I had a fantastic time, loved it and look forward to doing it again!
