...AND THE CIRCUS CONTINUES

After a peaceful 3 weeks with only 2 children home, Jordan and Alex arrived to further the pursuits of the Cleaver Circus. After three weeks of showing his calm side, Grant suddenly began renewing his screaming and hitting skills in defending himself against his pestering brothers. Jordan and Alex seem to have stored up energy during their trip and are squirting it out everywhere and on everyone like circus clowns.

Seeing that much of her time and emotional bank will be spent again on breaking up fights and dealing out punishments June is happy to have spent her hours yesterday completing several projects and errands hard to do with 4 children.

Just as June realized how easy having two kids at home really is, she is remembering the difficulty in raising 4 kids and is on the hunt for some new ways to teach unity, kindness and calmness around siblings.

The vacuum works well to both clean and shut out noise and complaints...
someday...you will reap many rewards!
Alex is looking so much older! My girls noticed his blue care bear.
