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! 

The Kirks take over NH

Or the other way around! After our quick trip to NH, I felt slightly dominated. Let's start with the day before our trip when we were trying to clean out the fridge and finding something to make for dinner was a bit challenging. Well we did it! Mashed potatoes, corn, and chicken. Not bad right? Until the next day..... Our flight didn't leave until 9PM but both Brandon and I were texting each other all day about our upset stomach rendezvous! Brandon gets home from work and immediately hugs the toilet for an hour. I, on the other hand, was going in and out of feeling good and not.  We managed to make it to the airport and board the plane in one piece.  A little piece of advice: just because your slightly under 2 year old flies free until they are 2 does not mean it is comfortable or feasible!  When he was younger it was definitely doable but almost 2 was extremely challenging. Prepare for landing........or more like me getting sick in a seat with the fasten seatbelt sign on...

Fa La La La La La La La La

As soon as Thanksgiving dinner ended, we immediately switched gears to Christmas.  My sister, my cousin and I left at 8:00 at night to get some Black Friday deals!  We left the chitlens with their dads and went on our way.  Toys R Us was brutal but we made it out in one piece. Target looked rough when we first walked in but ended up being very fast with an easy checkout.  Nathan gave up at the Target point and went to the truck to go to sleep......really?!  Kohls was so bad we walked in and walked right back out! Nothing there was worth a 4 hour wait!  The day after Thanksgiving always calls for champagne, Eggs Benedict, waffles, and golfing for the guys. This year we added Christmas decorating to the list.  We had our little elf out from Illinois do we needed to use him to our best ability.  My parent's house was all done by the end of Friday! Wowzers!  They have such a beautiful house that no matter what it will look amazing, but Nathan did...
