A Spring 5 for Friday

Oh Spring how I love you! It is an absolutely gorgeous Saturday morning as I write this. One of those days that's makes me feel truly blessed to be who I am, where I am and to have so many wonderful people in my life that I couldn't do without. 

~One~
Welcome back to Term 4! I know this is super bad of me but I started my end of year count down this week as well {10 weeks}. The majority of my poppets are settled and flourishing. Yay!

~Two~
Our Gymnastics program started on Friday. The kiddos love it! And I love that it's one less sports lesson I have to plan for the next 5 weeks.

~Three~
We went weeding up at our school Block this week with Mr K. My kidlets sure have some muscles because they did a super job. They love feeding the weeds to our school chickens.

~Four~
We have been planting up a storm the last week at home. My hubby brought home some pallet boxes which we going to use to plant some more citrus trees {a lime and a mandarin tree}. We painted them last night while having a sneaky cider which made working on a Friday night ok!

~Five~
After my yoga class this morning I wandered around our town's Farmers market. I am looking forward to eating those strawberries! Plus, there is nothing better than having flowers in the house- I don't normally like Native's, I'm more a daffodils, daisies and tulips kind of girl but they looked really pretty.

Eureka! It's holiday time & 5 for friday

Ah, another 5 for Friday and I'm linking up with Doodle Bugs again!

Drum roll........... My 5 Random Things for the week...........

One
We have finally made it to our mid-year holidays*! 11 week terms** should be made illegal my poor little poppets were exhausted this week {tears everyday} but they have been SO good! I can honestly say I will miss them over the 2 weeks... same could not be said as enthusiastically a month ago :) 
*side note- we call our 'vacation' holidays... just so you know :)
**our school year in Australia {or at least Victoria} is spilt into 4 terms, not 3 like the majority of the world... and it's our mid-year winter holidays now

Bring on the sunshine!! We are heading to the 'top-end' next week where it should hopefully be warm enough to swim. Fingers crossed. I'm dreaming of beaches, sunshine and margaritas

Four
This week was our "fun finale" so the kiddos and I have hung out, cleaned up, {they have} watched movies {while I did planning, listened to readers, cleaned, etc}, and just enjoyed each others company! It was lovely. We celebrated yesterday with movie & popcorn day which I completely forgot to take pictures of... oops


Five
We visited our school 'Rural Block' yesterday which is basically a mini garden/farm at the back of our school property. We grow tons of fruit & veg seasonally {tomatoes, corn, lettuce, strawberries, zuchinni, pumpkins, etc} and collect and sell eggs from our chickens. Aren't they the cutest?
