willy wonka.

our saturday started like most other saturdays.
{we}
sleep in late
roll out of bed
throw on whatever grungy clothes are on the top of the shelf
stumble drunkedly to the store
buy milk {because we've been rationing the last 1/2 of the half-gallon for five days now}
stumble back home
make french toast
eat it
clean, clean, clean
go to the store to get the other things we need
eat in and out burgers
finish off with wendy's fries on the way home
{we're willing to go to two different stores and get the very best}
play halo reach for awhile
finally shower and get ready for the day....
at about 5pm.

this saturday included a new adventure, however.
we went to Friday's Kids.
it's a facility where college students go and play with children with special needs.
ie. autism, cerebral disorders, etc.
it was so fun!
john and i got to know some wonderful kids.
and their parents got to have a night out- free from the 24 hours a day 7 days a week care they must provide for their children.
it made me admire the parents and the children.
their courage in such difficult trials.
i don't know if i would be able to have such strength!
i loved the experience, and i'm sure we will be going back soon!
