Pirates and Ballerinas

So on Saturday Jarrin got to go to his first Birthday party( a Pirate one) without Keeley! All the kids were to dress up in their best pirate wear and they even got names, Jarrin was Scurveylegs-MaGee!! Well Jarrin was excited but Keeley was in tears. The days of both getting to do everything together is now coming to an end as school friends only invite Jarrin to things now. It's a tough thing for Keeley and she will eventually get over it, but boy oh boy was it a traumatic thing for her.....so I told her that while he was at his boy party she could have a ballerina party with me and we can bake pumpkin pie together and dance. That seemed to solve it!! It was fun and interesting! I say interesting because we don't own a ballerina outfit so I had to get creative!! Heehee...

Sawyer let Jarrin and Keeley dress him in Jarrin's pirate attire! He looked so stinkin' cute with his pirate hat, jewelery, hook and sword!!

This is Keeley dressed up in the pirate gear also! It made it even funnier because of her ballerina set up( tights, pink shirt, Hawaiian bathing suit and her tutu from her dress up box) I really meant that I had to get creative!
She was trying so hard to dance so gracefully, but my poor daughter got my coordination skills that left her on the floor A LOT! She still had fun though.
We then made our yummy pumpkin pie! We can't do dairy so we substitute the evaporated milk with canned coconut milk. It tastes soooo good!! I had to cook it for 35 minutes longer and take it out when it still looked runny because with the coconut milk the pie firms up after it cools down all the way, but it is so yummy if anybody wants to try it!! Keep it in the fridge to cool down and store.

Keeley gave quite the cute pose! All in all it was good Mother-Daughter time!
