Molly’s Birthday 2018

Last night, Boots asked me for some new furniture. So I gave him a flea. It’s hard to imagine anyone being happy with a flea when they requested furniture, but he seemed to enjoy it. He said he’s going to train it to be the world’s most athletic bug. Well, they are strong jumpers.

Boots: Is this... Are you really giving me a flea?Boots: This is so cool! I'm totally going to train it. It'll be the world's most athletic bug!

He rewarded me with a plaster wall.

Today, I saw some butterflies flying around. I always enjoy the first butterflies of the season, because they are a welcome sign that spring has arrived.

I caught a tiger butterfly! Looks like I pounced first! 110.5mm

It’s Molly’s birthday, and she was celebrating in her house with Vivian.

Vivian helps Molly celebrate her birthday in Animal Crossing: New Leaf.

This is the 5th year that Molly has celebrated a birthday in Forest. And she’s celebrated with someone different each time. In case you’re curious, here’s the list:

Should I feel bad for letting her best friend move out every year? Oops. 😛 Also, I noticed she hasn’t changed her wallpaper or carpeting in all that time.

Anyway, I gave Molly a chocolate heart for her birthday. She seemed to enjoy it.

Molly: Oh, this looks delicious! I was just thinking about having another snack.

Vivian was also having a good time at the party.

Vivian: Nothing beats a birthday party. The gifts, the games, the cake...and the frosting. Mmmm!

I got a peeing statue (Manneken Pis) in the mail today, after helping Gulliver yesterday. Hornsby noticed I had it (maybe it was leaking out of my pockets), and he asked to trade a black-denim jacket for it. I agreed to the trade.

Hornsby: So how about trading your Manneken Pis for my black-denim jacket?

Bob told me he was planning on moving out of town on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th. But I’m not letting him leave yet, so I played the role of shamrock blocker.

Bob: Wow, I didn't think you'd care that much. Well, if you really want me to stay in Forest, then I will!

I then went up to Shampoodle, and used a certain hair guide to make my annual transformation into Mohawk McClover.

My recent dream visitors have been Gabby from Bliss, Mayounna from Amy Rose, Ryan from Old Aik, and Lovely from Rose. Thanks for stopping by!

Warm Spring Sun

Once Bones settled in, I visited him to see what his doghouse looks like. It’s Bones’ homes! I mean, home.

Bones: Welcome, Jeff! Seriously, make yourself at home, yip yip!

On February 25th, the snow all melted and the grass turned green once again. Welcome back, spring! I also changed my path from blue bricks to green bricks.

Green grass returns in ACNL.

Bob sure seemed to enjoy the spring sun. In fact, he even enjoys it at night. 😉

Bob: The warm spring sun is like a cup of warm milk. It knocks me out cold, daddy!

I used the Amiibo Camera to take a picture of my current villagers. It’s hard to get a good picture without anyone blinking! 😛

Forest's current residents: Hornsby, Vivian, Bob, Boots, Bones, Rolf, Big Top, Agent S, Molly, and Aurora.

Boots asked me for a new greeting, so I…um…gave him one.

Boots: "Master Gator." Man, that is just perfect! It's so me!

As you probably know, balloon presents usually fly from one side of town to the other…east to west, or west to east. But as I’ve mentioned before, they will fly south to maneuver around obstacles. I saw one make a detour around my fountain before resuming its eastward path.

Tonight, Bones asked me for some new furniture. Re-Tail had a men’s toilet for sale, and I was tempted to buy it for him. But I thought I would be nice this time, since it was my first furniture favor for him. So I bought him a metal guitar instead. Rock on, Bones!

Bones: Nice! I had my eye on a metal guitar just like this one.
He gave me a cubbyhole in return.

In Club LOL, I attended K.K. Slider’s Saturday night show. He performed DJ K.K. for me. Velma and Daisy were also in the club, sitting on opposite sides of the room.

K.K.: What's up? I'm really feelin' the vibe tonight, so why don't you kick back for this groovy track?

My recent dream visitors have been Caleb from Explode, Helena from Crystal, Leanne from Starlite, Reese from UK, Serene from Lucky, EDO from Camelot, Chelsie from Mistwood, Aaron from Zapshire, Maisie from Venus, Kiki from Moonhill, and Elaine from Seatown. Thanks for stopping by!

By the way, if you haven’t seen my latest video, please give it a look. It’s a look back at features that were in City Folk, but not in New Leaf. Maybe some of these 11 things will return in a future Animal Crossing game?
