oh Saturday, how we love you

Saturday, we love you because you don't mind if we pair rainboots with Elmo panties
or a pair of rockin' cool sunglasses.
Saturday, we love you for all of the donut-happiness that you share.
And Saturday, this week we love you because you were so beautiful, beckoning us into the woods to enjoy the beauty of God's creation. (Although I think Sophie needs a little more help in "nature appreciation." We rolled down the windows as we were driving through Percy Warner Park and she begged us to close them. When she realized she would not win that particular battle, she announced, "It stinks. It smells like..." Before I could pipe in with "yes, it smells like dirt and trees and that's the smell of the forest" she finished with "...cat poop." Awesome.)
(Yes, my skeptical "nature stinks" child was racing down the path with joy and enthusiasm by the end of our walk, slowed down only by - no, silly, not cat poop - horse poop. I guess it's what we get when we go walking on the "for horse riders only" trail.)
