Friday Night's Activities

This past Friday was awesome! To give you a little bit of the back story, Mitch is a boy in our youth group. His birthday is 2 days after mine. Last week at church he handed out invitations to a party to all of the high schoolers. Josh asked why he didn't get one and Mitch either ignored him or made some smarty pants comment about how he wasn't invited. So, all week last week Josh had been teasing Mitch and making comments about not getting invited to the party.

Josh called me one day while I was at work and told me his brilliant plan. He decided that we should go toilet paper Mitch's house during the party. He told this idea to several of the other youth group parents who also agreed it was brilliant, there were even a few parents who really, really wanted to come but couldn't.

So, Friday night Josh, myself, Dennis, Pam, Don and Gale went to dinner and then put "Operation Crash the Party" into action. As we walked up to the house we noticed that Mitch's parents Lori and Jerry were sitting in front of the big living room window. This meant we had to be super quiet and sneaky. We were able to get the house and trees pretty good for about 30 minutes before Lori looked up and saw a roll of toilet paper go flying by. During that 30 minutes the neighbors came home, looked and us, waved, and went inside. Also during that time a boy left the party. He walked out the front door while Josh was standing there with a roll in his hand. Josh asked if he was going back in and he said he was going home. So Josh replied "cool" and kept working. It must have been pretty funny to see 6 adults papering a house. Just a side note - one of those adults is a police officer!

After we were done/almost got caught we drove back to one of the other couples houses to play cards. While we were there, their son, who was at the party came home. He asked if we had done it - we all played innocent and asked "done what?". By the time Josh and I left Justin was convinced it wasn't us.

Sunday morning at church we again convinced the kids that it wasn't Josh that did it. Oh, we left a note on the porch that said "Dear Mitch, you really should have invited us to your party. Sincerely, ?????" All the kids were trying to figure out what the 5 ?s symbolized and who else could have done it. We finally revealed ourselves and everyone had a good laugh - except for Justin who was shocked his parents lied to him when he asked if they were involved.

It was a great night. Pictures below.
