I think this time we really are going to move aboard! 2 weeks and counting, and barring some catastrophic event, we will be living and sleeping on our boat by October 15th. There is SO SO much to do! I have always been a bit of a procrastinator, for example, in college, even though I said I was working on a paper weeks in advance because I had been thinking about what I would write, I never actually started typing until a day or two before hand, and was usually up all night the day before it was due. Unfortunately, I don't think this experience is panning out any differently. I have been planning and conceptualizing the bedding for our boat for months now...I ordered it, and ironed it, and now it sits! To be fair, I have a lot of other things on my plate, like homeschooling, and feeding my family, swim club, and yoga class, but I think it is time to get on it!

Thankfully my dad is planning to come to town next week and give us a hand. I'm hoping he can help us get some shelves in our hanging lockers, so we can put our clothes on the boat. Jacob and I made a drawing of the entire boat with all of its storage spaces, so that we can plan where we will cram all of our stuff!
Here is a partial list of what we still need to get done:
- shopping: pillows, dog bed, dog bowls, toiletry tote, dishes, silverware, baking dish or two that fit in our tiny oven, tupperware for fridge, produce bags
- put up lifeline netting
- pack up the condo
- paint the galley cabinets (they have been stripped, but need a fresh coat before putting groceries and dishes in them)
- install shelving in the hanging lockers
- build a dock step (mostly for Sweet Pea)
- get an ethernet adaptor
- clean out the the head (currently serving as a giant storage locker)
- clean other storage spaces to make room for our stuff
- install shelf over AC and fridge
- remove speakers
- finish priming and painting the engine and new bracket
- much much more...

In other news, our cousin Will turned 6, and we got to go to his fun birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. The girls were in heaven! We haven't been to a good kiddie birthday party in months and months, and they loved it. Papa also had a birthday this week, and we got to spend a nice morning with him and GranMiri celebrating.
