A Little Bummed :(

[e.j.]

Some of my parents have today off and others are off work at 3p so I just thought more would come I guess.

That's too bad. I was going to ask if maybe they all had jobs where they really couldn't take time off or suggest that with summer coming, they might be trying to save vacation time/paid leave for when they need it. If they had the day off or got off work early enough to come and didn't choose to, though, it's too bad. They missed a good opportunity to share some fun with their kids.

It was $150 for an hour and includes t shirts for the kids and coloring books.

Cool....thanks.

That is too bad and makes me sad!! I hope your kids, and you, enjoyed it anyway!!

I must say, though, to people who post things like 'why did they have kids anyway' to me that is quite a harsh statement. Parents(who the OP said were 'awesome families') are not able or choose not to attend a daycare function are then designated as a family that shouldn't have kids?
I certainly tried to attend any function for my children at their daycare when I worked outside the home but if I had to miss I would have been heartbroken if someone would have said that about me.

UPDATE: Things went so great with the party today and the kids had a blast!!
My families were very appreciative and loved that I did it for the kids.

I'm very lucky to have such great families, even if they couldn't make it today .

I just updated my blog for the families but feel free to check out photos if you have time!

That looks like you had a lot of fun.
