FLEA Bites: July 2012
http://4fleabites.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 21, 2012. Both girls wrapped up their softball seasons this week, and agreed that they want to play ball again next year! Elisabeth ended the season batting very well and hit at least one double almost each week for the last several weeks - in at least one game she hit TWO doubles! Way to go, Elisabeth! Allison had a few good hits at her last t-ball game today, too. Great season, Ladybugs! Awesome hit - can you see the ball? We got her all checked in at the airport, and then she was off.

FLEA Bites: October 2012
http://4fleabites.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 31, 2012. Happy Halloween from the gypsy and the leopard! Allison wins the Hallo- green. Award for the year for wearing one of Elisabeth's old costumes! Call me old fashioned, but I personally think part of the fun for the kids is ringing doorbells! I'm assuming that people thought we left a bowl of chalk out for them! I finally moved the bowl of chalk inside. Sorry, kids, but I think a Reese's peanut butter cup is a lot better than an old piece of chalk! Friday, October 19, 2012.

FLEA Bites: December 2011
http://4fleabites.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 25, 2011. We kicked off our Christmas celebration this year by attending children's Mass at St. Louis in Louisville on Christmas Eve. The girls were able to sit way up front by the altar. The highlight of Mass came at the end when Santa walked down the aisle and kneeled before the manger to pray. After Mass, we followed tradition and went out to dinner. We decided to try Lucky Pie. I think Elisabeth summed it up best when she asked, "How much is their electric bill? This morning, Elisabe...

FLEA Bites: January 2012
http://4fleabites.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 25, 2012. It's official.Allison is five! I picked the girls up early and we hit the birthday girl's favorite park for some play time before dinner. Then we headed back home for a good ol' spaghetti dinner, followed by birthday cake and Oreo ice cream. In typical Allison fashion, the birthday girl insisted on modifying her birthday cake. There was supposed. Instead, she decided that her cake needed a balloon. Happy Birthday, Nugget! Sunday, January 22, 2012. There are a LOT of Girl Scou...

FLEA Bites: April 2012
http://4fleabites.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 9, 2012. The night before Easter, FLEA dyed lots of Easter eggs. They made a lovely centerpiece for our Easter dinner table. Yep, Allison cracked open each and EVERY one of our eggs! All 30 of them. I guess she didn't know that you're not supposed to put all your eggs in one (trash) basket. Five minutes later, I caught her eating a bowl of Cheerios out of a fancy (plastic) glass. She replied matter-of-factly, "All the bowls are dirty! Sunday, April 8, 2012. Happy Easter from FLEA! In Louisv...

FLEA Bites: Bedroom Makeovers
http://4fleabites.blogspot.com/2012/11/bedroom-makeovers.html
Sunday, November 11, 2012. Both girls' bedrooms got makeovers a while ago. Elisabeth got a new bed, bedside table, dresser, and bedding. She also got some new artwork for her wall. We could've paid $200 for this artwork:. But I thought I could make something similar myself for a fraction of that price. I'm no Picasso, but I think these turned out halfway decent if I can say so myself:. Allison didn't need new furniture, but she wanted new bedding too. She picked out this lovely pink and white quilt:.

FLEA Bites: February 2012
http://4fleabites.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 26, 2012. Cookies, Rock Star, and Diorama. Not too much to report from Casa de FLEA. Elisabeth wrapped up a very successful Girl Scout cookie season, selling a whopping 249 boxes! We enjoyed the Thin Mints while they lasted, but we're also happy to say "adios" to the 2012 cookie season! Allison got some new sunglasses and is rocking the aviator look! I told her she was a stud muffin, and she yelled, "NO! I'm a rock star! Elisabeth wanted her diorama to depict a scene in the book where tw...

FLEA Bites: November 2011
http://4fleabites.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 27, 2011. This weekend, FLEA (and Grandma with Brown Hair) kicked off the Christmas season with an exciting adventure! We drove down to Canon City and boarded the Santa Express train at the Royal Gorge railroad depot. Our destination: the North Pole! The kids got to wear their pajamas for this fun adventure. Our first-class accommodations included dinner on the train before we departed. After dinner, we started heading north! Finally, we saw thousands of lights and the sign:. Her teacher...
