Awesome, Shannon.....but I'm not going to shower too much praise on you 'cause I know better.
I have done both Darth Vader and Santa Claus, and the payoffs from the kids is off-the-charts priceless.
Side note: If you drive down the road in a Santa Claus suit, EVERYBODY waves!!! LOL!!!

Another pointed out that I didn't have a tail, so I held up the book and said I had LOTS of tales.
When kids pointed and stared, I'd point back and say, "Omigosh! Look at THAT!"
I dropped paper and apologized for the kitty litter.
One of the kids studying Dr. Seuss said he thought I was dead. I told him that was just a story.
This went on for over an hour. ;-) |
HAHAHA if only i was half as clever! amazing |

That's awesome, Shannon! And the pics your wife took turned out excellent! My attempt at something similar resulted in my being barred from my son's school for life.
A couple questions for ya: How old are the kids in the class? and did you get dressed up at the school or did you drive there in that getup? |

Shannon, You're a cool cat! Props for being a caring parent, and for taking time to share your talent with the children. They will remember the day for a long time.

But what do they do if you drive down the road as Darth Vader? |

Kid: I don't think you're a real cat.
Cat: I don't think you're a real kid. I think you're a Thing. Thing 1, maybe. Thing 2, perhaps. Or possibly Thing 98 and a half... |

Fantastic to see this kind of involvement with the children. I love this sort of thing, and try to do as much as I can at my kids school too. Good on you for this a COOLER CAT I have never seen.
All the best to you and yours.
You made some kids very happy and gave them something they will not soon forget.
MAX! |

I saw 'Horton Hears a Who' last week - great fun! Quite philosophical in fact. |

| Shannon, you get Dad of the year. That's awesome! I'm sensing many requests for kid's birthday parties in your near future. You'd make a fortune! |

I'm flattered to see the sudden interest in this three week old thread. The kids still talk about it, and I had another shot in the local newspaper (near the bottom of this page).

It's kindergarten, so they're mostly 5 years old. I drove to the school in full costume, but didn't see a single reaction from other drivers. I even waved to a cop parked along the road on the way back. Nothing. Apparently this is a normal sight in my town. :-/ |

| Shannon, I just saw this...this is great!! I called my kids in to look at the pics...they giggled and got very excited! Now, if I had half the quick wit you have...I wouldn't have half the headaches I have with my kids and their questions! |
