"LOOK, Mummy! A SNOW tree!"
Is what Jaws calls blossom trees. Ahhhh.
Handed our library books in and faced a £21 fine. *faints* I know. These things are worse than credit cards; I've cut them up already. You can look but you can't touch. The kids went to the junior section and got hounded out by a squeaky-voiced, none-stop talking 3 or 4 four year old who was more annoying than a hornet who had peed his pants and sat on EVERY goddamn seat leaving stains, before I dry hurled and flounced out vowing never to return.
Public libraries? Pah.
P.S. A good site for your budding inventors

How perfect You are O Allah, and I praise You.
I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except You.
I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.’

Gruesome about the library!
Elle
Salaams,
Just browsed through your blog and I think it is soooooo amazing!!!! SubhanaAllah!! I'm a mother of a 4 year old and terrified of the thought of sending him off to school... even an Islamic one. Could you give me some advise as to HOW to start homeschooling??? I have NO CLUE where to begin... I'm a bit familiar with Waldorf (my mother-in-law is an avid fanatic!!!) and more so with Montessori but like it was explained to me their methods are at both ends of the spectrum...yet I see you have links/info on both?? Anyway, hope to hear words of wisdom from you, InshaAllah!!!
Wa Salaams,
desperate/confused/future homeschooling mum.... ha!
Elle, great minds think alike re: crafting. I'll attempt the tag alter insha'allah. Yes gruesome was the right word. I swear my heart stopped beating for a second when she said the words £21.
Umm - insha'allah will blog an answer about that later too.

If I use the kids cards here then we don't have fine unless we ignore the request letters for me to return the books (can only get out kid's books on these obviously) so admittedly I get a bit lax about it. Kids managed to break a CD rom from the library and they let us off (it was old anyway), but I have lost a ladybird book and will have to pay the fixed fine of about £8 which probably serves me right. Wouldn't mind so much if had been children's compendium book I'd lost but there you go, not as bad as your experience. I now try and use my alarms in my mobile phone to remindme of these sorts of things, missing dentists etc gets expensive too (this is pregnant brain doing its best!)
We too have had a £20something fine. 7 years ago and it still hurts. Ouch! Amazon is cheaper.
