Dress Up Your Pet

I had no idea that last Monday was National Dress Up Your Pet Day. Our poor cats missed out on all the fun and games. My daughter frequently pulls Basil into her closet for impromptu dress-up sessions with doll clothes, jewelry, and ribbons. He's a very patient cat.

Brighter Minds Media has turned the day into a contest, which lasts another few weeks, until February 4th. The rules are simple: Dress up your pet, take a picture, and then upload it to their site. Great fun for the kids, and the prizes are cool... A set of DVD games from Brighter Minds, including Jurassic Park Explorer, which I reviewed last fall.

There's another contest going on at the Why Homeschool blog. Janine and Henry are asking people to try their hand at creating a logo for the Carnival of Homeschooling. Visit their site for more details.
