Is winter on its way???

Finally it started to snow in 90210. I was a bit jealous when I heard some towns were already getting some snow but yesterday when I started my game, there it was...snow falling. I can't wait for it to stick on the ground (only in AC:WW not real life).

Got me a golden axe

I think I have mentioned it before that I mainly play Animal Crossing to and from work. Playing on my commute gives me the chance to water flowers and sell some things before I fall asleep.  This morning, I found Pacal hanging out by the shoreline. Leesh immediately gave him the scallop she got from Tortimer, low and behold, Pascal gives Leesh a golden axe.  I should have asked for his pic!!! I am not even sure if it's possible to ask for it.

I plan to start this trading event all over again once Wendell comes into town. I have two red turnips waiting to trade (or sell for 16,000 bells).

I wish I had my camera on me to take a picture of this last part of the trade.

Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop

The Cooking Mama games are my favorite. My late brother would always buy me the latest version for either Wii or DS. I just happened to go on GameSpot today and saw that Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop came out last month.

Lucky for me, I still have a Toys R Us gift card from J & A from last year (I had to return Ocean Zenses because I got two copies for my bday). I can use it to get this game. Now I just have to give hubby my gift card and ask him to pick it up for me.

445 bells

Luckily, Leesh remembered to buy some turnips from Joan on Sunday. Actually it wasn't Leesh who bought the turnips, it was Ross (he was laying the path stones and ran into Joan). Anyway, after Leesh talked to Nook today and found out that he was buying turnips for 445 bells, she ran back to the house and picked up the 190 turnips and sold it to Nook. Yay - 84,550 in Leesh's pocket!!! I love the stalk market.

Red leaves, pathway, pink hair, 401 bells - oh my!!!

Here's a short update with what Leesh and Ross have been up to in 90210:

The leaves are now turning a bright red colour. It's very pretty but now it's hard to see the cherries and apples. I can't wait for winter to come in 90210, not in real life.

 

First EVER, Nook buying turnips for 401 bells. That is the most I have seen. The highest before was 160-something. It's such a waste as Leesh, Ross and Brody didn't have any white turnips.  They would have become BELLionaires (as Teffy says).

As part of the revamp of 90210, Ross has the lovely task to lay out the path that leads to all the buildings and homes. It's a big job but it's the first step.  Leesh will then chop down and re-plant some trees and Brody to do the gardening. I hope it's all worth it in the end and looks as pretty as the other towns Leesh has visited.

Ross made the garden by the house a bit smaller. Each one of the hybrids will be kept in this small garden, along with red turnips.

 

On Sunday, it was the fishing tourney and Tortimer was finally hanging out at the town hall. Leesh gave him the massage chair and in return, he gave her a scallop. Next step...giving the scallop to Pascal.  Funny thing is, Leesh already has a golden axe. Maybe Pascal will end up giving her his picture.

 

With Ross working hard on the pathway, I thought he deserved a new haircut. I hate answering Harriet's questions, so I pass my game along to my husband to answer.  I left the room and let him do his thing.  Well, when he was done, he passed me back the game and says, "It's a boy, isn't it???"  Hilarious!!! Ross' new hairstyle is quite embarrassing. He is wearing a hat but the pink hair is still peeking out at the sides. I'll wait a week to get more bells and send Ross back to Shampoodle.

I missed my playdate with Yuki and Meow. I didn't miss it, I was just 45 minutes late. They left Mitsukyo to go to a new town. But now, I have a new wait to keep in touch with Mayu_Yuki. Hopefully it will be easier now to set up new playdates. I really want to finish revamping 90210 so Meow and Yuki can come over and explore.

Suggestions for games please!

I have many girly-adult type games but I find these days, my three (almost four) year old niece always wants to play a game on my DS.  The problem is, my games are too grown up for her.  Any suggestions of games that may be okay for her to play?  She is super smart but she needs a basic type game, maybe something for a 5-6 year old...something like a Barbie or girly type game.  Help!!!

Random play date in Mitsukyo

It's a Tuesday and while I should be at work, I was off, relaxing from a road trip to New Jersey.  I discovered that Mayu/Yuki was on Twitter, started to follow her and BOOM - out goes a tweet that Yuki has opened her gates.  I jumped at the chance to play with Yuki and Meow.  I always seem to miss our scheduled visits.  When I arrived in Mitsukyo, I found Meow and Yuki.  A few minutes later, Stella appeared.

L to R: Stella (in a cute lady bug shirt), Yuki (with a lovely red feather in her hair) and me (with my lucky four leaf clover).  Meow is somewhere running around town.

 

First off, I had to visit Vesta. She is the only one from the town that writes letters to me.  She now doesn't scream when I come to visit her.

 

Leesh inside Yuki's house.  Look at all the turnips.  Is it a bit smelly in here?

 

Leesh sitting by the fire, hoping that someone else will come and visit Yuki's house.  I wonder if Yuki will notice if Leesh has some tea and cake?

 

Leesh spent most of her time in this room full of beds.  It was very relaxing and peaceful with all the stars and turnips surrounding the beds.

 

Then Luigi (aka Yuki) came and we rolled around on the beds and bumped heads.  It was quite entertaining!

 

We went into another room which I thought was a TV showroom but it turns out to be a brainwashing room.  Scary!!!

 

Leesh told Yuki that she wanted to revamp 90210 and plant all new trees.  Yuki was kind enough to give her a golden axe.  Now Leesh doesn't have to wait for the next steps in the golden axe trading event. She can start to cut down trees and replant new ones. Thanks Yuki for the axe, you are too kind.

 

Finally, I get to see Meow. She was too busy fishing for tuna.  After she caught her tuna, she wanted to cut it up so we can eat some sushi, lol! L to R: Yuki, Leesh and Meow.

 

A visit is not complete without a net fight.  Notice how Leesh is the only one without a golden net?

 

While we were net fighting, Nicola came for a visit (I think that she is the one who went out that note in a bottle that appeared in the shoreline of 90210).  Nicole threatened us with her axe and asked us to stop fighting.  Then she started farting, so that is when Leesh made her exit. Just kidding, it was time to go and order dinner in real life.

Another fun play date.  I really want to have the girls come and visit my town but it's not as exciting as their towns.  I wish I was more creative and design an awesome looking town (like a Christmas-themed one I saw on Mayu's blog). Maybe with my revamp of 90210, I can come up with something different.  My first step is to cut down and replant trees and find a nice pattern I can use for paths throughout 90210.  Wish me luck!!!
