Home schooling and allergies

The kids have been asking to go to Kids' Club at the gym for a week. I guess they think I've been lazy =). The gym calls the nice girls at the Kids' Club "babysitters", but we call them "teachers" so the kids have a "school" experience to talk to friends about. I know they're only 2 and 3, but most of their friends are going to school this fall. One of my friends said that I am "home schooling preschool", and I thought she was joking, but now I'm not sure. I feel like the school will probably have to come charge us with truancy before I send them off for the day. I'm not opposed to school for anyone else, I just love to do whatever we want every day and I think the kids are good company so we just do worksheets and singing programs and reading at home and call the babysitters at the gym "teachers". The Kids' Club has a new sign-in program so they were asking me a bunch of questions. I always let the kids answer adult's questions when they can, so the girl got Ikey's name and spelling and birthdate from him. She said, "Do you have any allergies?" He said, "I'm not allergic to anything, but I don't like cole slaw."

His first little bit of graffiti. He drew a train on Grandma Rainey's chair with his fingernail.



Jovie really wanted me to take this picture.
