Just a little TPing

Well, the senior high girls from church just had to continue the tradition . . . we had to TP the youth group leader's houses, well except for ours 'cause I was the leader and coordinator of the event.

You must first know that TP in this case doesn't just stand for toilet papering someone . . . it also stands for Totally Prayed for. So, we start the evening praying for the youth leaders and Sunday school teachers. Then, we decide who we'll "show a little love" to. Then, the "love" packages begin: a toilet paper message that says, "Congratulations! You've been Totally Prayed for by the senior high girls" and we all sign our name. The toilet paper message is accompianed by lots of candy . . . all inside a clear bag with the family's name written on it.

After we eat a few pieces of candy, we out to the car and ready for some adventure. We hit up 5 houses, perfecting our technique more and more with each house. Everyone had their job and we were completely silent. (We've learned our lesson in prior years -- silence is definitely best). Some toilet-papered bushes, trees, and whatever else they could find in the yard. Another placed the bag on the front door step. Others were "on the lookout". And another had the job of ringing the doorbell and running to the getaway car. I was of course the driver. I had the car started and was ready to gun-it after the doorbell ringer made it to the car.

It was a blast -- quite exhilerating! We had a chance to hang around for 2 different family's responses. Some leaders love our demonstration of love . . . others aren't too sure of it all. But, hey it could be a lot worse. Toilet paper is easy cleanup. And, the girls got really into it. They're already planning next year -- full camo . . . the whole deal. We'll see about that. Here are some pics:
