Five for Friday!

Hooray for Fridays! And since it's already Saturday here in Australia (we're the future, people!) hooray for Saturdays too!!

Here's my random 5 for this week's linky with Doodle Bugs.

1.  We have finally had some gorgeous weather here on the Sunshine Coast!  The rain seems to have disappeared for the moment so I have been enjoying the sun. :)

Snapped this pic on my way to school one morning - 6:30am is a gorgeous time to be at the beach!

2.  To celebrate the sun, my friend and I had lunch at a cute little pub last Sunday.  We sat on the verandah and were having a great time... until a cattle train stopped on the tracks a few hundred metres from us.  We ended up eating our lunch with the smell of cow poop in the air! So gross!  No idea why the train stopped right there... maybe the driver was jealous that he wasn't at the pub too?

3. Spent $3 at Kmart this week and scored these little beauties. 5 packets of reward coupons and 2 packets of adorable owl magnets - some for me, some for school!

4. Most valuable time spent at school this week?  10 minutes printing and displaying sticker charts!  The kidlets had been taking their stickers home each afternoon but decided they would like to have them in the classroom to look at (which I had suggested right from the beginning!).  Keeping an eye on their chart has kept them motivated to 'move their peg up' so they can all add a new sticker in the afternoon. :)

These also serve a double purpose - blocking the window so parents don't peer in and wave at their kids in the afternoons!

5. Nothing better than spending time with my nephew, Mack!  "Smile for Aunty Lauren?" "No! Nonononononono." That's what I get for putting Mary Poppins on for him to be distracted by.

Link up to share your random Five for Friday too!

Happy weekend everyone. :)
