Today is Louie’s birthday, so I crafted him a barbell for his birthday present. I also customized it with the “colorful” options that looks a bit gold-ish, so maybe it will remind Louie of his precious golden bananas. 😉

I then headed over to Louie’s house for the party, and I also found Apollo there. Louie really seemed to enjoy the gift, and Apollo was gleefully strutting around.

Louie is the first character to celebrate a 2nd birthday in Forest. One year ago today, he celebrated with Shari. That was also the first day I visited my northern beach and the first day I shot down a balloon present. A lot has changed in one year!

Gullivarrr was washed up on the beach, so I went diving to find his communicator. I found it on my third try, and Gullivarrr will send my reward in the mail.

With April Fools’ Day coming up soon, a whoopee cushion is now available as a seasonal item. I hope you enjoy it; it’s a gas! 😉

Have a good weekend, everyone!

I caught this yellow butterfly today, and it sure didn’t look like anything special…

But in fact, it was my 5,000th bug caught. So that earned me 3,000 Nook Miles, and I’ve now completed the “You’ve Got the Bug” achievements.

This also means I can probably put away my rotten turnip to draw ants, and I can stop catching every bug I see. 😛

When I visited Apple, she complimented me on my frog tee. She said I look so active, so physical, so tired, and…so sweaty? Does it make me look like I’m about to croak or something?

Louie said he was watching me swing my net a lot yesterday, and he wants to introduce me to some friends of his. He said they’re a network for net work.

Celeste was in town, and she taught me a DIY recipe for a space shuttle!

At the obstacle course, I’ve made some minor cosmetic changes to the dungeon and galaxy areas. Now that I have more design slots available, I made half-space versions of the ground tiles there. That allows the dungeon and space patterns to go all the way up to the fence. Here’s the before and after pics of the Galaxy area.

Louie’s birthday is tomorrow, so I’ll be back with another entry then. But there’s no Friday Night Forest this week.

Last night, Rizzo asked me for a new greeting. I told him to say “Trap me, hit me, kill me!”

He said he liked the sound of it, but I could tell he wasn’t really happy with it. Too bad, rat. 😛

C.J. was in town, so I completed his seasports challenge and then sold him 50,000 bells worth of fish.

Apollo gave me a free bicycle helmet, and he really didn’t care what I did with it. He said I could paint it purple and throw it in the sea for all he cared. 😂

Label was in town, and she wanted to see me wearing a formal outfit. She gave me a work shirt as an example of what to try for. I checked the clothes I had in storage, and I decided that my best bet was a pilot’s uniform and pilot’s cap. I didn’t have matching shoes, but I grabbed some wedding shoes because I knew they would qualify as formal.

I returned to Label, and she said the outfit was perfect! She gave me a Labelle dress.

Tybalt was sick with a cold, so I bought some medicine for him shortly before the store closed for the night. Tybalt thanked me by giving me a printed layered shirt. Get well soon!
