Capital, small or both?

In my writing, I usually start the words for days of the week or months with capital letters.
ex. Saturday, September...... etc.,
In other people's writing, I often see these words starting with small letters.
Is starting these words with small letters acceptable?
In my dictionaries, I can't find any of them starting with capital letters.

Thank you very much for helping me in advance.

Names of days and months are proper nouns. It is only right to start a proper noun with a capital letter. One think I have learned is that we must be careful in choosing who/what to refer to.
