A Little Fun

The youth group from church has an annual "Disciple Now Weekend" that started years ago when MAtthew was the youth pastor. He also started (what is now a tradition) of going out on Saturday nights and rolling people's houses. We knew that we might be a target, first of all because they always get us, but they were also trying to get some of the 5th graders that will be joining them next year.

We caught the first group of middle school girls (we were up late watching the Basketball games) and took a picture of Matt's truck before he cleaned it off. He has to get up so early in the mornings to go to church that he didn't want to mess with it early. We had our windows open and were up until after midnight and assumed we wouldn't get "gotten" again.... Wrong. The High School girls came (from what I hear around 2am) and got us. Fortunately, they didn't get his truck very much, but got our yard pretty good. Since we
don't have trees, they usually have to get pretty creative and they did.

It's nice that the kids are now old enough and big enough to go clean it up, which we made them do. It's also hard to think that Christian will be in the youth group next year and possibly out doing this, too. UGH!!! Oh well - I got some cute pictures so I thought I'd show you.

They used Saran Wrap and wrapped his truck, but they also put Easter Eggs all in the Saran Wrap which were filled with Candy - the kids liked that!

Many forks in the yard (and you can see the mailbox completely wrapped)

Even Julianna helped clean up

Chalk notes to the kids

Christian helped for a bit but it wasn't as fun for him as it was for the girls

Notes to Matt (you'll see they say "you taught us well, Matt")

Rebecca got a tree for her birthday last year from my parents (Nonie & Pops). She thought it was so funny that it's the only tree in the yard and it got rolled!

The girls cleaned up the swing set - Rebecca attempted to slide down under the Saran Wrap!
