Five for Friday a.k.a. The one without any broken vases

Oh my goodness we survived 'til Friday! It's been a l-o-ng week but we made it. Another Friday means another link up with Kasey over at Doodle Bugs for a Five for Friday.

I actually took enough photos this week to do a day-by-day recap! Yay. So, without further a-do here is a flashback of our week:

Monday
We made these adorable apple poems from Deanna Jump.

Tuesday
We had our final day of swimming.

Wednesday
I made this super cute My Little Monster Mini-Reader. Go to my 'Fans Only' tab on my Facebook page to download it.

Thursday
Some Lego building.

Friday
Today was a day and a half. We went on excursion to our local Chinese Museum. It was awesome, it was tiring, it was a little bit too long but we didn't break anything* so that is winning! Our town has a long, rich Chinese culture that began with the gold rush and has continued with the wonderful work of the Chinese association. It's a great place to visit.

*We had a close call with some vases... but all was good.

I'm almost falling asleep typing this so I'm ready for some much needed sleep. Hope your week was epic, amazing and hilarious. 

Happy weekend,

5 for Friday~ 23rd May

What a week! Thank goodness Friday rolled around.

Last weekend was b-u-s-y. It started off with a trip to the 'Genius & Ambition: Royal Academy of Arts' exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery and finished up with the Christening of our friend's baby. 

The new gallery space is spectacular and the exhibit was amazing, one of the best I have been to in ages. We are very lucky to have such a fantastic space, with regular international exhibitions. 

I finally gave in and bought myself a trolley this week to set up some core drawers. Best decision ever. 

We celebrated by decorating them for our Write the Room activity this week which is a great freebie from here.

My sister bought me this Minion case & sent it to me this week. It has cheered me up!

One of my Mum's bought us these class fish today. She is such a sweetie. So we now have 4 fish to name. I've already started to pray that they survive the weekend.

A Back to School 5 for Friday

Oh my goodness these holidays have gone so quickly! I'm really loving summer but I'm also looking forward to heading back, new school, new class, new teacher peeps. Hopefully it will all be exciting :)

~One~
This week has been complete chaos, work wise. My teaching buddy and I definitely need another week for set-up {we've been in at least 4 days out of 5 for the last 3 weeks!} but I am refusing to go in this weekend. I need some me time before work takes over my life again! But our rooms are getting there, we are planning to meet VERY early Tuesday morning to finish the clean up. I'm really looking forward to that, not.

I'm using these clipboards as a revolving display space. Each kidlette has their own clipboard & they'll be able to choose what they display. They look great, even if these pics don't do them justice. I think I may have gotten the idea from somewhere on Pinterest. Love it!

Had coffee at two of my favourite places with two of favourite people this week. Coffee at Percy & Percy on Thursday with my ex-{and extremely missed} teaching buddy M. This place is an old milk bar/corner store and has lots of little rooms, cute corners and communal tables. Love it!

Yesterday at the Old Green Bean with the Hubs. They leave crocheted blankets on the chairs - how cute is that?! And yes it was close to 30C yesterday but I still used the blanket. The Bean also has a vintage store inside, so it's my version of a coffee/shoppy heaven.

~Three~
Tomorrow is Australia Day. Normally I would make a bucket load of lamingtons- sponge cake, dipped in runny chocolate icing, dipped in coconut- yummy. But we are on a healthy eating kick at the moment (we are doing so well!) so the Hubs has banned me from baking. We both can't help ourselves, we'd eat the lot. I found this recipe today from Raspberri Cupcakes for Lamington biscuits. These look SO good.

Loving long, gorgeous summer walks around the Lake.

~Five~
I'm having a 100th post giveaway that ends later today. Stop by & enter :)

I'm heading off to enjoy this gorgeous Saturday. Enjoy yours,
