toy story and spaghetti

Cam's favorite movies are Toy Story I and II. Seeing as they just released both in 3D, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to take him to the theatre for his first movie. Chris took him this morning knowing the theatre wouldn't be crowded on a weekday. After walking passed a zombie movie where Cam could hear the loud noises, he got a little scared and wasn't too into the experience until the actual movie started. But Chris stuck it out, knowing he would love it once it started...and boy did he!! He would laugh, yell, point out things, say his favorite lines, etc. throughout the movie. He also LOVED the 3D glasses.

At the end of the first movie, Chris asked him if he wanted to go home or watch "a different Toy Story" (what he calls the second one). Sure enough he wanted to stay through until the end. It was quite a successful trip and I'm thankful to Chris for also sticking out both movies because let's face it, those movies are cute, but two in a row can get a little old. :) Here is Cam in his cool glasses...



Tonight we are having spaghetti using the tastiest and cheapest homemade sauce you'll find. My next door neighbor made lasagna using it back when Cam was born. After Kendall came along, I specifically requested she make it again. Here is the recipe in case you are interested. The secret ingredient is cinnamon. So good! It is super easy. You just have to make it a little ahead of your dinner since it has to simmer for a while.



Spaghetti Sauce
1 lb. ground beef/turkey (cooked)
3- 6 oz. cans tomato paste
1 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 1/2 tbls. sugar
2 tsp salt
4 cups water

Add all ingredients and let simmer at least an hour (longer if you can).
