    I'm not a parent or Christian, but Morning sounds better.

    EIGHT o'clock on weekdays, anytime with US on the weekends. We're usually out afternoons, so when we ride back out from town to Katy they're asleep.

    Yes, akperez, we can hang. Ask moballs.

    Or, you could tell your kid that when YOU were 5, you spent 12 hours in the blistering sun out in the agave fields, and the only thing you got for your birthday was a GI Joe that was found in a trash can and a twinkie with a burning match stuck in it. Your kid feels so guilty that you don't have to throw a party!

    I tried, A-Train, but she looked at me innocently and said: "Uhhhh... daddy... ummm... [wtf] is agave???!?!?!"

    Friday we'll check out MonkeyBizness and I will let you know how it goes. Hopefully they have better hours. :(

    MEOWGI, you're forgetting to call rockHead LAZY. :p

    bump for the night owls. All the afternoon crowd got to vote and I just wanted to hear more comments. I will also let my wife read this entire thread because you dudes and dudettes have been helpful. Please vote if you haven't. It will help me and my wife decide.

    Well in that case Mrs. Swoly-D, isn't it funny how "decide" is spelled with a "c" instead of an "s". When in fact the meaning of the word is to pick "sides", so shouldn't it be spelled "deside", or better yet "desides". And what about the "de"? Isn't that the weirdest prefix in the world. When you put it in front "rail", it mean to pull something off the rail, but when you put "de" in front of "liver" it creates an entirely different word that has nothing to do with livers, or any other internal organs for that matter.

    See what I have to put up with around here from your husband. :rolleyes: :D

    I would choose Sunday Morning, its more like little kids time
    You can go to the church on saturday or early morning sunday.

    Here in Mexico, dont go a lot to the church.

    The best time I think is: Saturday 12am - 2pm

    Bumpin' 'cuz the poll ended and the Sunday morning people won. WOW.

    That's what my wife had chosen. I, in turn, wanted to have the party at Pump It Up at 7. You guys were right on those bad options.

    Luckily, Monkey Bizness opened up some slots earlier than Saturday at 7 (4:00) and we will have it then. Is that even better than Saturday at 7? I think so. We won't be having a divorce after all over the time of the party ;).

    m_cable, nice one... I had forgotten to chase you around with the idioms. :D

    THANKS to everyone who helped.
