I found these instructions for Tping a house online somewhere, I thought they were pretty fun so I thought I would share:
1. Get lots of toilet paper. Buy your stash before dusk, as you will look pretty suspicious buying toilet paper at 10:00 at night. (we always bought ours late and the cashiers always laughed)
2. The best kind of toilet paper to get is double rolls. It lasts much longer, so you can usually get 4 or 5 throws over a moderately sized tree, while a single cheap roll of toilet paper will only get 2 or 3 throws over a tree.
3. Pick a time. The time should be one where people are not still up and walking their dogs. Be sure to get information on how late the neighborhood usually stays up. This can be very useful, and sometimes not knowing how late to go can be very embarrassing when you show up somewhere with a bunch of bags. Don't go too late, though! If you wait too long, you will get sleepy, and possibly fall asleep, which will ruin the night!
4. Consider what time of year it is. If it is during summer, weekdays are a must, as most adults will go to bed pretty early. During the rest of the year, it is good to pick a night when you have the following day off (such as the day before Spring Break, or days during Presidents' Weekend are very good days to hit). Remember that during Summer you will have to stay up extra late, because many people wait until it is very late to go to bed. A lot of choosing where and when depends on where you live, so make smart decisions!
5. Don't freak out if you make noise when you arrive at the house. If someone sneezes, or you trip over a stick, don't worry. No one is going to get up in the middle of the night for a minor noise. They will, however, wake up and look out the window if the noise persists. So stop the noise ASAP, but don't run away. (isn't this how it always goes? Someone makes a little sound that there is no way anyone inside could hear and everyone freaks out and makes more noise then the orginal one)
6. Pull a long arm's width of toilet paper from the roll when you go for trees. Hold the roll like you would hold a bike handle, but vertical. Throw the roll into the tree. it should trail up and over beautifully, and plunk on the ground on the other side. Walk to the other side, and repeat as necessary. For bushes, trail the toilet paper all over them, and push wads of toilet paper deep into bushes, to make it toilet papered inside, and out.
7. Rip small pieces of toilet paper off the roll and scatter them all over the lawn. Lots and lots of small pieces are very good. (this is the best! We also used popcorn which actually ruined someones grass, don't ever try it)
8. Make sure to throw the rolls over high branches in the trees. If you only get the lower branches, it can easily be taken down, you want your hard work to stay for a couple days.9. Wear running shoes. If you need to run on pavement you are not going to be able to out run a person with something protecting their foot. You should train yourself prior to go time to run quietly on all surfaces. Stealth is a must when escaping someone in the dark.
I remember when I was in 7th grade I went to a friends birthday party/sleepover and we all decided to go TP someones house (I can't remember who but I remember where the house is) it was probably around midnight when we went, the girls parents didn't care what we were doing or where we went. We were so freakin loud I am surprised we didn't wake up the whole neighborhood, but what do you expect from 10 7th grade girls. So anyway we TPed like 3 house and then we decided to head back to the girls house. We were walking down Southern Ave and started TPing the bushes along side the road (because we had extra toilet paper) when a cop drove by. Of course we all freaked out and started running in every direction. I think a couple of the girls even jumped the wall in to someones back yard. The cop didn't even turn around we all just completely freaked out and thought the whole night that the cop was going to come find us. Unfortunately this was not my only "run in" with the cops when I was in school :)
I love this picture, Jonah fell asleep on me yesterday afternoon. I got up to go get us some lunch and when I got back he was still out. He loves Mr. Bear!!!!
Also I hate when blogger doesn't put the spaces in where you want them to be, very ANNOYING!!!

I laughed so hard when you mentioned our run in with the cops. Looking back I can laugh so hard about it. When it happened I was scared to death!
I agree about blogger and spaces. It irritates me so much!
Love your TPing instructions. Those were the days! I remember being in college buying TP late at night. Then we ran into my old boyfriend carrying armfuls of TP. Those were the days!
It think it's so cute when little kids sleep with their teddies.
LOL! Remember when we got the TP from a movie theatre in the Mesa area that might have been a competitor to our employers at the time? I had to leave early, but the plans were pretty wicked. Also, the popcorn instruction would be awesome. If the popcorn were made without salt, it shouldn't permanently ruin someone's lawn. I remember being told that if you really wanted to get someone, you should pour salt in their lawn in the form of letters that spell not very nice words and when the grass grows in, they will have naughty words in their grass and it will never grow back in that spot.
I also agree that little kids sleeping is precious, but I love it when little kids fall asleep on me. I sleep so much better holding a tiny child than I do by myself. Weird, I know, but true.
