You guys had some of the best birthday party ideas last week! Pirates, tea parties, splash fests and that “Matty Gras” shindig — so clever! The “Party Animals” book is heading out to Misty and man, thank heavens for random drawings, because I could never have picked just one great idea.

OK, we’re ready for this week’s giveaway and this time, we’re offering up a Nickelodeon DVD featuring  the irrepressible, irresistible Backyardigans and their “Escape from the Tower,” which features castle dungeons, mariachis and a sock factory. It looks like big fun for a lazy day – or a long and tedious car or plane ride, if you’ve got a portable DVD player.

So with that in mind, click “comments” and tell us, what’s the best book or DVD to keep the backseat crowd occupied on family trips? We’ll draw a winner’s name on Monday, April 26.
