Gavin talk

Every night when we put Gavin to bed, I tuck him in really tight and say, "Snug as a bug in a rug"(And of course I have to do the same to pooh bear). So when I don't do it, Gavin says, "Kleese do 'nugget,nugget, bug, rug!" I dont know how he got that from what I was saying, but he loves it!

Sometimes he will go and get a toy and put it behind his back and say to me, "I have prize for you!" and then give me the toy. THen he will take the toy back, of course.

His new thing is terrible fear of the spanking. When we are out in public and he is doing something wrong I will give him, "the look". You moms know what I am talking about. And he will say really loud while covering us bum with his hands, "You not give me spanking, mom?" I am constantly hushing him so that I don't get sent to jail!

Harvest Party

We had our Dobbertin Family Harvest Party this weekend. I have been looking forward to it for months now! Since fall is my fav. season, we went all out for this bash! We had it at Jason and Kate's house - the best location for fall fun! Our activites included : a doughnut eating contest, carving pumpkins, smores, making carmel apples, hot apple cider, pizza (of course, a Dobb. Family staple), a bon fire, the kids in their costumes, party favors, and the most fun of all - a hay ride! We have decided to make this an annual event! Here are some pictures of our night!

Trick or Treat

Well, our Halloween was super fun! We started our day by cutting up our pumkins and scooping out the seeds to roast! Instead of carving our pumpkins this year, we decided to make a pie out of them. Yes, I made a REAL pumpkin pie, from scratch! We cooked the pumpkin and even made our own crust! It took a long time, but it was fun and worth it in the end.
After dinner we headed out for the candy portion of our evening. Gavin loved it and had so much fun getting candy from all the houses. His costume was a hand me down from my sister. I am pretty sure that it is an alligator, but Gavin totally thought it was a dinasour, so we went with that! Halloween in Dearborn is AWESOME! We were pleasantly suprised. Everyone pulled out their firepits and sat in their driveways to pass out candy and hang out with the neighbors. There were only about two houses on each block that did not participate. It was a fun family event. There were kids everywhere! I really could have done without the gaudy and scary lawn decor at some houses, but the rest good. Gavin lasted for about four or five blocks. At every house he would say, "trick or treats" and then "Tank you" and then as we were walking away he would say, "We trick or treats at another house?" He filled up his bucket twice. At the last house we went to as we were walking back down the driveway Gavin said, "no more trick or treats. We go home now." At lease he knows when enough is enough!
So we came home and ate some of the candy and had a peice of our pie. Gavin was on such a sugar high. He ended up not going to bed until 10:00! He was such a crazy boy! Here are some pictures of our day!
