friday foto - pumpkin time

fall is pumpkins and squash, indian corn, and crisp air. i can't wait to head out to the pumpkin patch to pick out ours next weekend :)



and as a bonus a funny story for you.

when i was little mom used to volunteer at my school. she always helped out when they did hearing and vision tests at the beginning of the school year. she recently told me a funny story about one of those years.

she was working with a little girl who just wouldn't speak. mom asked her her name. she wouldn't tell her she tried laughing with her and telling her a story but nothing doing. finally mom asked her what her mother called her at home. to which she replied "puuuunkin." and she didn't say another word the whole time ;)

ah you have to love the south :)

I have done more than my fair share of hearing screenings. But, they were fun .......mostly.
