Finding things to entertain the Thanksgiving crew can sometimes be a challenge. This year, however, Norm is receiving visitors who want a distraction. Who's Norm? He just happens to be the "world's largest pig", a 1600 pound Yorkshire (they usually top out at 500-600 lbs.). I guess Norm figured out if he just kept eating and growing he might avoid appearing in the bacon aisle of the supermarket - seems to have worked so far. Peyton & Dillon helped check him out and gave him a "thumbs up" in the entertainment category. (Norm didn't seem at all interested.)
At the fireman's pancake breakfast this morning (they serve their pancakes with real maple syrup!) Dillon zeroed right in on the 4-wheeler being raffled. Trust me, no one left with any change, just ticket stubs. If you're interested in adding more chances to Dillon's free wheeling dreams, raffle tickets will be on sale through December 3rd.
Just to make sure the pasta maker was in working order (we sometimes make pasta to go with the leftover turkey the day after Thanksgiving) we made pasta for dinner. With the help of a stool, Peyton demonstrates the Carroll method of cranking. Peyton is an excellent cranker - cut enough linguine for 8 of us for dinner plus leftovers. Not bad for a 3 year old! He also mixed up brownies for dessert (and consumed his fair share I might add) - another chef in the making!!!
