Life with Louie

The potluck dinner the Anderson family throws for the new neighbors, the Jensens, is anything but welcoming.

The Andersons go on vacation to Lake Winnibigoshish, WI.

Louie gets a fish named Pepper, because his family is too poor to get a dog.

Louie makes a deal with his Dad to get out of his much-hated gym class if he agrees to play little league baseball. Much to Louie's dismay and bad luck, his baseball coach ends up being his tyranical gym teacher. After the coach is hit in the head by Louie's bat during a game Louie's dad Andy steps in as the coach and whips the team into shape in true military fashion--literally. While Andy is teaching the team battle strategies, Louie's mom teaches them actually baseball tips and tricks on the side. Of course in the end, Louie's team ends up in the big championship game and the team's newfound skills are put to the test.

When Ora and Andy leave to go and visit Ora's sick mother, Louie and Tommy are left home alone to fend for themselves during a blizzard.

When Louie's head swells up to gigantic red proportions, he knows there is something wrong, but does not want to face the awful possibility that he has allergies and must, therefore, get an allergy shot!

Louie, upset with being cast as the Turkey every year, single-handedly ruins the annual Cedar Knolls Elementary Thanksgiving Pageant. The principal decides that as punishment Louie needs to give a presentation on the meaning of Thanksgiving the Monday after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Louie tries to figure out the meaning of the holiday while his house is flooded with guests for Thanksgiving dinner, each of whom have their own unique interpretation of the holiday.

The winter carnival begins in Cedar Knoll and The Anderson family loses every competition they enter. Meanwhile, Louie develops a crush on Jeannie's sister and tries to learn how to skate to get close to her.

The Anderson family goes to a fair where Aura tries to win the best cooking contest, and Andy wins a pig. Meanwhile, Tommy gets upset because Louie always takes him to the childish fair rides.

Dad loves his car like it's another member of the family, so when it stops running, Dad feels as though a family member is very, very sick.
