I love Saturday mornings. On Saturday morning at our house there is an unspoken rule that we all sleep in and even Padfoot seems to be in on the secret. On a Saturday morning Padfoot will easily sleep soundly at the foot of our bed until 10 am.
My favorite part about Saturday morning is our morning walk. Padfoot and I sneak out and let Aubrey sleep a bit longer and we head out for a 15 minute walk around the trails behind our house. I love how he tears through the trees and is so happy just to play outside. And it never fails - as soon as we come out of the forest and start the walk across the field at the school he is hysterical with excitement. Like a kid who was let out of school at recess to play on the playground. For some reason he identifies that field with play. Maybe because we sometimes throw the ball or stick there. Or we take him there with his friends. But man he's excited to run around that field. And the best part of the walk is as soon as he can see our house he runs full tilt back home. Totally excited to be out for his walk but just as happy to go in and wake up Aubrey.
We turn on CBC radio and relax for the rest of the morning. Reading, eating breakfast, listening to the radio and sometimes I work on projects in the loft. Pretty well every Saturday morning is the same. I know once we have kids Saturday mornings will change but I hope we can always start the weekend off with this wonderful sense of relaxation. It is the weekend after all.
