Tour de Zeke's Room

We have been working on Zeke's room for what seems like forever. We painted and set up his big boy bed tons of blog posts ago. 

His room is now presentable. I say presentable because we still have some things we would like to do, add, and buy!

 

We decided on a vintage vehicle theme. It went from vintage cars to vintage vehicles because, of course, the themes I choose are not so popular. 

I found a vintage car print I liked on etsy but everyone said the fabric was too hard to make as sheets or the cut they had wasn't long enough for a full size bed. After all that I thought going with solid colors would be a great idea. I ordered a duvet cover, pillow shams, a bed skirt, and a blanket from Restoration Hardware. I got them home, put them on the bed with some navy blue sheets and thought "eh"!!! I kept it up for awhile but hated it!!! It was so boring, the down comforter wouldn't stay in place in the duvet cover, and it was so heavy and hard Zeke didn't want to cover up with it. 

If you've ever ordered something from Restoration Hardware then you know they send you this huge package of catalogs once a year. After looking through the kids catalog, much to my surprise, they sell vintage airplane everything!!!!! 

I called to try to exchange my six month old purchase.....no luck! After thinking of how I could convince them to exchange my stuff, I called back and with no questions whatsoever the associate exchanged it all! Yay! 

Now we have the cutest vintage airplane sheets that goes with the awesome decor. 


We incorporated a lot of Zeke's baby room theme of sock monkeys since they are fairly vintage. 


Zeke was handed down the coolest handmade piggy bank from Brandon's nana, who passed away this past year. 

Zeke has also started an amazing collection of antique cars handed down from my grandpa who Zeke calls grandpapa (cutest thing ever)! 


We found this vintage Tonka truck at the antique store in town. The tank we just couldn't pass up at the farmer's market since daddy used to work on them in the military.


Like I said before we have lots we would like to do. We have been handed down all of Zeke's papa's (Brandon's dad, Zeke) license plates that had his name on them. We would like to make either a border or cool picture with them. We also want to add a TV for our spoiled child and some shelving to go with that. That can come once our money tree starts growing.......

Cruisin'

One of my best friends is getting married so in getting married style we had to have the bachelorette party. Her and her fiancé met on a cruise ship while both working, so going on a cruise was very fitting!  We took a short little 3 day (booze) cruise.  It was a lot of fun, my first time on ship/cruise, and I'm glad it's over.....wedding time!  Brandon had the kids all weekend and did an amazing daddy daycare job, even with activities and sports and all! He's super dad in my eyes! 

4th Annual Kirk Klan Ugly Sweater Party

As you can tell by the word annual, this is our Kirk family tradition. We have an ugly sweater party every year for Christmas. We deck out our whole house, garage, ourselves, and have a great time with friends and family. I usually make everything home made with some help from my mom and all her and my grandma's recipes.  This year I wanted to make it as simple but still cute as possible. I decided on a chili bar as the main entree.  I also delegated everyone that would help to make my favorite chili they make. SCORE! Way less work for me! Muahahahaha!  My dad made his tri tip chili, my mom made her white chicken chili, and Brandon made his pulled pork chili.  Besides the fact that we always make way too much food, the chili was definitely a hit. Of course the chefs tested everyone on who they thought had the best chili. They are all delicious in my eyes, obviously!  I did pitch in a little and made some appetizers and corn bread! Oh and I did all the decorating...

Celebrating Fall

This month kicked off the Fall season.....and we took full advantage of it and did so many fun Fall activities.  Pumpkin patches: Zeke's favorite word by far is definitely "punkin" so him being at a pumpkin patch was by far the highlight of his month.  The farm we went to had a family night so we gathered some friends and headed out! Pony rides, petting zoo, "punkins", train rides, and even a corn maze.....done and done!!!!  Apple picking: Every year we head out to the local apple county with a couple families, choose a farm, and get a pickin! For some reason, my genius self decided to find other options than where we went last year! Obviously, that was not a great idea. Not only did we spend triple from last year, but there were almost NO apples! The pears were delicious and abundant. Like I said, apples were far from that! They had 3 different types and right before we left we found a couple trees in the parking lot where we not only filled up our bags, but al...
