Halloween Preparation, originally uploaded by szachko.

It was a beautiful autumn day.  The temperature was just right to stroll around the town.  I've worked with girls to set up a travel plan of the day.  The main theme of the day is to visit costumes shops and hopefully find THE costumes for this coming Halloween.

Ladies in the shops were so helpful.  I did not realize that you actually could try on those costumes.  Luckily, both girls found their favor dresses without me breaking the bank.  Out of blues, girls started trying out all the glasses on the rack.  Big one picked up this Harry Potter glasses and try it on.  Be honestly, she looked very cute.  She was right, she looks great in any style of glasses.

Big one is reaching preteen age.  I don't know if she will feel cool shopping with Mom next year.  I am just happy that I got the chance to shop with my girls in such a wonderful autumn day.  I hope they will have happy memory when they look back years after.

Zozo the Clown Fish

Zozo is the reason to start the whole Zachko Aquarium Fantasy.

When visiting a local aquarium shop in New Jersey, Zozo was so amazed the way clown fish swims that she invented the clown fish move. Of course, Mommy, Daddy tried very hard to keep ONE clown fish in the tank. Abby will exam the health of the fish and make sure the fish is fed twice a day.

Surely, Zozo is the trend setter...

A: Are we going to walk to the camp?
Me: No. I will drive..

Abby pulsed a second and turned to Zoe saying:

A: Zoe, you have to keep quiet. Mommy is driving today.
Z: ......
Me: .......

Sincere Advice

Reunion, originally uploaded by szachko.

EK was Abby's 1st grade classmate. He is very nice and gentle. After 1st grade, he moved back to France with his parents. We missed the whole family a lot. The whole family came to visit US in summer and we are lucky enough to have chance to spend time with them.

During the chatting, EK gave me a sincere advice:
"Never put your wife's name o Tattoo. What if you get divorce, then you are stuck...."

I looked at him speechlessly and then smiled back and thanked him for this sincere advice...

A Moment With Mom

Wallace Tea Party 2011, originally uploaded by szachko.

It is Wallace Tea Party. With all her heart, Zozo sincerely invited me to her tea party tea. She was very excited to see me show up in the classroom. She made sure I was in the right seat and listened to her sining. Of course, she made sure I took pictures with her teacher, Ms. DiVicent, and her best friend, Olivia. Zozo helped to pick up my favor cookie and we compared the tea we had the year before. She was such a good girl that she insisted she should have three cookies as told by teacher. Zozo also double checked with me to ensure she got all my favors right. She showed me the my favor list in her mind.

Yes! Zozo, you got them all correct! Mommy had a wonderful moment with my Zozo...

How to Train your Viking - by Abigail Zachko

Colonial Williamsburg Day 3, originally uploaded by szachko.

There once was a teacher named Sophie. She teaches young vikings how to be a grown up one. Sophie has brown hair with light brown high lighting, brown eyes, a big viking helmets, fuzzy brown pants and a dark green shirt.

Sophie was a good teacher. She would show her students how to through an ax. She would even tell them how to pick the off the ground. But there was one student that Sophie couldn't handle. Big Tooth.

Big Tooth had one giant buck tooth, a cut off left hand, (it was all wroped up so no one could see it), weird helmet with one horn a lot bigger than the other light green shirt, right leg cut off, (also wraped) brown fuzzy pants and short brown hair.

Big Tooth was horibble at everything.  He couldn't pick up a hammer (made out of only wood), he only ate beans, he only drank mile, he need help with absolutely nothing, well, at least Big Tooth says that.


"What am I going to do with him?"  Sophie said to herself.  She saw some beans and milk sitting on the table and that gave her an idea.

The next morning Sophie put up signs on Big Tooth's saying "Privet classes for Big Tooth at Sat., Sun., Mon., Tu., Thurs. (3:00-3:55)."  Big Tooth saw the poster.  It was Saturday.  Big Tooth got to Sophie's private class at 3:05.  He was only 5 minutes late.  (Who cares)  Sophie said to Big Tooth.  There are beans inside of this door."  Sophie pointed to the door.  "And milk inside the door too.  But..."

Gulp.  Big Tooth had a worried look on his face.

Sophie resumed speaking, "There is a dragon in there, too."

Big Tooth ran out the door with his arms spread out behind him.  "AHHHHHH!!"

"See you tomorrow" Sophie said hopelessly.

On Thursday, Sophie went over the same thing.  This time Big Tooth looked ready.  "are you OK?" Sophie said

"I'm fine.  I just did a little practicing with my daddy."

"Ok" Sophie said opening the door.  A massive dragon came out.  It had read scales, a tail as sharp as a knife and flaming red eyes.  ROAR!! He blew fire everywhere.

Big Tooth dauged every thing the dragon blew.  " I want my beans."  He said as he was getting closer to the door.  Finally, he got to the door.  The door close on him.  Slam!  Sophie went to open the door and put the dragon in another room.  Then she opened the door for Big Tooth.  She found him drinking his milk and a[n] empty plate next to him.

"You did great!"  Sophie said after a moment of silence.

Slurp.

The next day, the private lessons were over and Big Tooth did great at his regular lessons.  Even X-a a very strong girl who was top of the class congratulated him.

As the years went on, Big Tooth got better and better.  In fact, he was the 2nd best wiking in the world.  (The first was Sophie).
