What Did You Accomplish On Your Island Today?

Did some pumpkin plantin', something small and witchy feeling!
Went on some tours for a new villager and befriended Hornsby <3 Now Bob's got a lazy pal to hang out with!
 
• checked the mail
• did my daily grind of fossil hunting, material collecting, etc
• stopped big top from moving
• talked to my villagers + gave gifts to the ones i need pics from
• delivered a gift for marina
• checked the recycling bin
• collected my daily bonus nook miles
• placed some more monarch butterfly models in margie’s yard/garden(,)
• changed my town tune
• demolished one of my wooden bridges; currently in the process of replacing all of them
• checked out able sisters & nook’s cranny
• went diving
 
Was really disappointed to learn that the update didn’t mean having the new content. So mostly just did my daily stuff. The big news was that Reneigh offered to move out. Even though she was one of my original 2, I let her go because I need to get a smug or cranky for the reactions.
 
Here's what happened on Shione Island today:

9/30
• Rex was thinking about moving away, but I was able to change his mind. I'm not ready for him to leave yet...
• Harry borrowed something from Gayle, but felt awkward about returning it; as usual, I agreed to help out.
• Redd was here today...but all of the pieces were fake... 😭
• (Considered playing some more after-hours, but ended up too tired to do so.)
 
The update finally kicked in, so I planted a lot of pumpkins in my new pumpkin patch. It won't be done until I get all of the pumpkin DIYs, but so far it looks good!

I also built a new bridge and moved Audie to a new plot of land. I ordered a pool to put in her yard, hopefully it actually fits there lol.

I also gifted wrapped fruits to all of my permanent villagers, and got a pumpkin table diy from Kabuki.
 
Leif brought me not only pumpkin starts, but also hydrangea bushes, which I needed to finish re-landscaping my downtown area, so that was pretty cool. Did my rounds, got to talk to my new resident Roscoe some, remembered to give Bill medicine because I forgot to yesterday (OOF I'm such a great friend), and cleaned out tons of branches from my storage to craft into branch wreaths! I definitely don't regret buying stacks of acorns/pinecones from here 😅
 
Busy day today since I officially now have access to the Halloween content! 👻

  • Planted some pumpkins in my designated pumpkin area I made yesterday. It feels a lot less small now that it has stuff growing in it. I did sprinkle some random pumpkins all over my island for a small extra boost.
  • Leif was my visitor today, which had nice timing since I got a discount on pumpkins.
  • Worked on several new outfits due to the new skin tones and eyes. Made my first custom design intended to be used on the face.
  • Tucker was in my campsite and I spent about 45 minutes trying to get him to move in and replace Fuchsia. I had to give up on him though because I was running out of battery and also willpower. I would have preferred him over Fuchsia but I'm not too gutted over not being able to get him to move in.
  • Got Spooky Stack DIY from Cousteau.
 
  • made my pumpkin patch official!
  • did the usual dailies; shops, fossils, etc.
  • started decorating my rock garden, but quickly ran out of stone, so debating on some material runs
  • beginning plans for my villager exteriors; i can't let boomer, tank, and octavian have the only good yards 😅
 
First things first, of course I was excited to see what Halloween stuff there'd be to do after the update today. I had Leif as a visitor again for the second day in a row. Not that I dislike Leif, but I do hope he doesn't show up more than regularly during the Halloween period, because he's kind of useless when you can also buy the pumpkin starts at Nook's Cranny (I have enough money so the half price saves some but meh).

I got a spooky chair DIY from Alfonso, bought an animal nose at Able's (I was disappointed to not really see any costumes yet there, but the month is still long...), and used both my main and second character to buy a sweet. I planted 216 pumpkin starts and watered them all.

After that, I was basically already 'done' with the update stuff for the day, so I did nook miles+ goals, gifted all the villagers their gifts, got photo's from Patty and Deirdre in return, hit all the rocks, dove up sea creatures until I got a clam for Pascal, gathered up the stars I wished down yesterday, chopped wood from all the trees, and fished. I need to more fishing, I fished until I had 2.6k caught fish in total today. I'm hoping to have caught at least 200 more by the end of the weekend.
 
  • got all the halloween DIYs that you can get from villagers/balloons!
  • been collecting a lot of candy as well :) jack i am ready to treat!
  • decorated my island with the spooky stuff! i am loving how they look with my island theme.
  • helped love of my life decorate around his house with the spooky stuff. my character's theme uses the mush stuff and love of my life is using the spooky stuff. it looks great with his house and we are so happy with how it turned out!
  • bought some costume pieces. we think we have a vague idea of what we want to dress up as >: )
  • also redid my farm + planted pumpkins. got loads of orange ones and been harvesting them
  • went qr shopping since i freed up three slots for my custom designs. very happy about this!
 
I cycled out Del and brought in Coco that I found in my campsite. Just in time too! She is a very good "Halloween" villager.
I also happen to have Redd on my island and got a great statue.
 
Made my starter pumpkin patch, paid off my basement loan and got spooky lantern set from Coco :3~
3 Successful visitors also <3
 
- Planted some more pumpkins in some various places just for decor
- Was able to catalog all the new halloween clothing thanks to a user here <3
- Gave all the villagers I'm working for photos from a gift
- Currently undertaking the long process of tending to the massive craziness of flowers I have going on in my second town (tho the first needs it too tbh)
- Cleaned out some storage
 
Planted a small amount of pumkins, bought a bunch of stuff from Able Sisters (none of them being the newest items but I did not have them yet), and played around with the new cosmetic options on both of my characters.

While I had my second character up anyway, I got her some nook miles, unlocked a bunch of stuff, and worked on the interior of that house. Also finally got around to reading the unread mail and talking to a bunch of villagers that were starting to complain about not having seen her in months.

I think I might start farming more pumpkins tomorrow :)
 
I caught Merengue inspecting her pumpkin patch! Then she wandered away while I was texting my friends a picture and I found her in the community garden pumpkin patch! I watched as she got out her phone and book to inspect them. ♡

I also moved Leopold's house to his new spot. It looks fancy and I love it!

Marina gave me the spooky arch! ♡♡

I took several pictures to share and uploaded my DA during a thunderstorm! I guess a thunderstorm weather trumps 6 AM music.😆

I greeted Piper as she was unpacking. I was working on making fencing for her plot when my switch went to sleep. I have three houses that I know where they are going currently. I have to decide where to put the last three houses and plot out the space for the future tenth plot. Finalizang layouts is really hard!
