Life is just a bowl of cherries...

Batman and Wolverine have come to my house this week. We've had lots of fun.

On the trip here, Batman commented, "I don't know why my stomach feels a little weird about me coming to your house. The rest of me feels really good!" Sometimes life is like that, isn't it?

Here's a sweet story to start things off...We have a cherry tree and it's full of cherries. The boys were very excited about picking cherries and making a pie.

We went to church Sunday morning. In the car on the way home Batman said, "My teacher loves cherries. We should pick some cherries and take them to her." I told him that was a good idea, but she worked out of town and it might be hard. He insisted she really loved them and we should call her and find out when she would be home.

Long story short, she was leaving at 2:00 that afternoon. She, of course, encouraged me to explain to Batman she was leaving and that I'd bring them another time. He was having none of it. So we picked a few, and then I took a bag out of the freezer to take to her. She cried saying how sweet it was of him. On the way home he felt so good.

Batman: "I'm glad I did a nice thing."

Me: "You do a lot of nice things."

Batman: "I try to do nice things, but sometimes I forget I'm trying to do that and I don't. But now I did a nice thing and I'm going to remember to do nice things because it makes people happy. It's okay that we picked all the red ones and gave them to her. In a few days the pink ones will be red and then we can pick them and make a pie."

When I told him we had some in the freezer we could use now to make a pie, he was really excited.

Just think what life would be like if we were all more like kids! Let's all do a nice thing today!
