Month: October 2016

Tonight, Molly told me she was planning on moving out of town on the 1st of this month. This month? She meant to say next month, but regardless, she’s not going anywhere in any month if I can help it.

Unlike many years, I didn’t have a Halloween costume picked out ahead of time. So I just grabbed a red pumpkin head out of storage (in a museum exhibit) and put it on. I still kept my “C” logo on, since the Indians are currently in the World Series. Go Tribe!

I also put my jack-o’-lantern face on my custom-design sign.

At 10:00, I opened my gate for my rescheduled Friday Night Forest. Beth and Squishy came over. Beth was dressed as a black cat in a crop top and skirt, and Squishy was dressed as an anime character (Kaori from “Your Lie in April”). Squishy’s outfit is available on her blog if you’re interested in the QR codes.

Anyway, Beth alerted me that there was a buried fossil I hadn’t dug up yet.

We then had a net fight at the plaza.

I took a few hits, but the joke was on them. With my pumpkin head on, I couldn’t feel a thing!

At one point, Beth told me my custom-design sign scared her. And later on, my face scared Squishy!

A bit later, Squishy fell into the pitfall behind my gravestone face-cutout standee. But unfortunately, I wasn’t around to see it. I always seem to miss these things. 😛

We headed out to the island for some fishing, bug-catching, swimming, and diving. Look, a catfish!

We then went inside for a couple of island tours. We started out with a bug hide-and-seek tour, where we had to catch bugs that aren’t easy to spot. That includes walking sticks, centipedes, and pill bugs. We earned a gold Tortimer award and 15 medals (not including the bonus medals). And to my surprise, I caught the most bugs.

We then went on a balloon-popping tour–the official (regular/medium difficulty) one. I was thinking it didn’t have pitfalls, but it did. It did.

We earned a gold Tortimer award and 8 medals. Beth popped the most balloons, and I popped the least. Too bad it doesn’t rank us by how many pitfalls we fell in. 😉

After that, we returned to Forest, where it was now raining. I sold my catches (about 60,000 bells worth) and then ended the session. Thanks for coming, Beth and Squishy! I hope you all have a great Halloween weekend! Feel free to use any of these Halloween QR Codes in New Leaf or Happy Home Designer!

By the way, Eric from Traverse was my most recent dream visitor.

Over the weekend, I found one of my favorite villagers Savannah at the campsite. Unfortunately, my town is full thanks to Camofrog’s recent (and unexpected) move-in. Ouch.

Yesterday, Big Top wanted to trade his pink tartan shirt for my silver nugget! Ha! That’s a really bad trade offer.

I got another lopsided trade offer from Hamlet tonight. He tried to make it interesting by pretending we were big-league managers. Considering that the World Series started tonight, it’s an appropriate time to play this game.

But the trade he proposed was not fair. He wanted to trade his painting set for my sabertooth torso fossil. No deal!

I visited Camofrog tonight, and I didn’t see him at first. And not just because my eyes were closed. He was really camouflaged in his house!

He then told me a story about how his mom used to trick him into doing chores by rewarding him with sweet potatoes.

My recent dream visitors have been CC from Utah and Brustie from Duwang. Thanks for stopping by!

Just a reminder that Friday Night Forest is this Friday at 10 p.m. Eastern time. I may only stay open for one hour, though.

Remember how Hamlet was talking about how he watches construction workers and it makes his muscles tingle? The very next day, he sent me a letter saying someone has been calling him “sweet cheeks!” Haha…

Of course, hamsters have cheek pouches where they store food. But I don’t think those are the cheeks the construction workers were referring to. 😛

Beth invited me over to her town Acorn the other night to see the meteor shower. I also met her neighbor Bonbon while I was there.

I wanted Bonbon to get her wish. So I also wished that a shooting star would land on her. Here it comes…

Yesterday, Lily was camping at my campsite once again. She camped here one day in August too!

Near the Roost today, Hamlet told me he was seeing visions of Camofrog floating by, after an intense workout.

He then dismissed it as dizziness after cartwheeling everywhere.

My recent dream visitors have been Cabbage from Clock, Xavier from Quigley, Jacob from Home, and Didi from Bluecove. Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend!
