Randomizing shapes

-----------------------------------

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I need to have 5 blocks in random order displayed, with 5 empty spaces below.
Then the user selects it and puts it in the correct location. 

What is the problem you are having?
i dont know how to have 5 blocks in random order. The same six blocks not changing its shape every time.

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
i used randint, but if i use that it will display different squares every time. I need it to show a set of 5 blocks randomize its order every time!

%My code till now
import GUI
var r : int
procedure RandBlocks
    randint (r, 0, 35)
    drawfillbox (100 + r, 300, 150, 350, red)
    drawfillbox (200 - r, 300, 250, 350 + r, blue)
    drawfillbox (300, 300, 350, 350 + r,green)
    drawfillbox (400 - r, 300, 450, 350, yellow)
    drawfillbox (500 - r, 300, 550 + r, 350 + r, purple)
    %Blank Boxes
    drawbox (100, 200, 150, 250, brightred)
    drawbox (200, 200, 250, 250, brightred)
    drawbox (300, 200, 350, 250, brightred)
    drawbox (400, 200, 450, 250, brightred)
    drawbox (500, 200, 550, 250, brightred)
    GUI.Refresh
end RandBlocks

View.Set ("graphics:1000;600")
var draw : int := GUI.CreateButtonFull (50, 10, 0, "Draw Blocks",
    RandBlocks, 0, '^D', true)
var quitBtn : int := GUI.CreateButton (200, 10, 0, "Exit", GUI.Quit)
loop
    exit when GUI.ProcessEvent
end loop

If u run my code hen u will notice that the blocks keep changing their shape right? So there are 5 blocks(different sizes) I need them to be in random oder every time i hit run.Without changing its shape.
