Sean stories and more from Mary
My mother had bought a lovely new couch. One day when we were all out Sean tore up one of the pillows on the side you sit on. When we got home from school we found the damage before my mother got home from work. Luckily the pillows could be turned over.
When we were all sitting a round the table for dinner we were all very quiet Then my mother said "alright whats going on". So we had to show her the pillow and she said that's it we are getting rid of that dog. Mike had the honers of taking him to the dog pound. All the girls cried to my father to plead to get the dog back and of course said he agreed. Mother was not very happy about that - but we we were delighted.

My father's birthday was in April. One year he received a pair of white walking shorts.
We had a wash line out in the back yard to dry the laundry. My father's shorts were hanging on the line and Sean decided it would be fun to jump and chew them and they were all ragged on the end.. Well my grandmother was visiting that summer and she hemmed them. The next time my dad wore his shorts he said - what happened why are these so short? He wasn't too happy about that.

NEW CARPETING
One year we got a new rug for the living room. We all helped put it down and were standing around admiring it when Sean walked in and threw up on it!
Another time we had wall to wall carpeting that that went from the dining room to living room down the hall past the bed room and into the kitchen. We were standing around looking at it and in walked Sean with a bloody paw and he walked across the dining room and living room and down the hallway to the kitchen. We had a RED LINE all through the house on the new carpeting. Luckily it cleaned up easily.
NEW YORK TIMES
We received the New York Times and on Sunday the girls loved to read the Magazine Section to see the latest fashions. My dad always did the Crossword Puzzle. One Sunday we cut the Crossword Page out and pasted it into last week's Magazine section so we all look at his week's Magazine. When dad was finished with the puzzle he went to read the rest of the section and let out a YELL that it was last week's Magazine Section.
ANTS IN THE KITCHEN
One summer we had a problem with large black ants in the kitchen. My father looked under the sink and noticed the boards were damp. He tore the planks out and found a giant nest of large black ants. He took the vacuum that had a paper bag for the dust and vacuumed up all the ants and burned the bag in the fire place. Cathy swore shed saw the bag move. Gross.
A NICE CHRISTMAS MEMORY
One year we had a lot of snow. Your father piled us all into the car with sleds to a giant hill to go sledding. He then took us all out for Hot Chocolate. We had such a good time!
Enjoy the memories!
