Haircuts, Doctors, and Ice Skating

We all had a fantastic week! It feels like we have finally finding our routine again which is amazing. I hate the feeling you get when everything is all out of whack and nothing is predictable. I prefer my life to be boring and well planned. The last 3 months couldn't have been further from that.
It 3am one morning I had the terrible realisation that Ammon was late for his 6 month immunisations. so I quickly booked those in the next day. He has been a bit delayed in his last two sets because he has been sick over winter but now we are all caught up until he is 1. He was a champ and didn't even cry. I think I am lucky that my kids take them so well.
The following day Ammon had his 8 month check up at the health nurse. He is still fat. a full 1.5kg over the 98th percentile, and 98th percentile for height and head circumference. All in one week he decided he was going to crawl and start pulling himself up on everything. I doubt it will be long before he is off walking. He is such a placid baby. The only time you hear him complain is if he is tired or hungry, the rest of the time he is busy busy busy. He loves to be invilved in whatever the other kids are doing. If they are on the couch, he needs to be on the couch, if they are colouring, he needs to have a pencil too. It is pretty cute how much he loves to be with them. Lili doesn't think it is cute at all and really hates all the "love" he gives her.
On Thursday we went to the park for a picnic. We caught the train to the park and Auron isisted on bringing a big box that had arrived that morning with school supplies. I told him it might be a bit difficult to carry the whole way but it was up to him. We got 100m down the road before he wanted to me to carry it. Haha tough luck kid, I made him carry it the whole way. HE told me later that next time he is going to leave it at home.
One day last week I took the kids out to go ice skating. They loved it. Thankfully it was a lot cheaper than the place in Palmy. The workers at the rink we so lovely, they actually got out on the ice and helped the kids holding their hands and teaching them how to skate. By the end of our time there all 3 of the kids were pretty confident little skaters.
We ended up paying off our car this week too. The bank has changed its policies for home loans and our trip to NZ in June really really stuffed up our finance. Simply because they took the month of June as their final snap shot for our income. Which wasn't a realistic portrayal since Aarahi had 3 weeks off without pay. So in order to save all the hassle of proving to them that we were out of the country and it was for a legitimate reason we just paid the car off and the final approval went straight through.
That's it for the week. We have some exciting things planned for the coming week that I am sure the kids will enjoy.

Ammon got his hair cut this week. This a photo both Auron and Ammons first hair cuts. Auron is on the Left and is 11 months old, Ammon in the right is 7 months old
Ammon loving Lili. See how much she enjoys it!

Speaking of hair. Lili had hers straightened one day last week because I was sick of having to fight her to brush it. Those curls are hard to maintain! But this didn't even last a day
