Camera Dramera


So....about 2 months ago my canon elph went missing. It is the camera I carry with me all the time and let Ella use anytime she wants too. As seen here:
I have used it countless times to shoot when I don't have or want to use my 50d. I understand that this means nothing to everyone else but to me, it was a huge inconvenience. I knew that it was lost and it was most likely little E's doing. I didn't mind, because I always let her use it, I mean in all honesty, when she is around I call it her camera.

On Halloween weekend I didn't want to take my 50 to Bowling Green, nor did I want to take it Halloweening. So! Thursday I went to Sam's and bought a bundle of AA batteries and a larger memory card for Prince C's old camera. I was playing good sport. Playing good sport until Halloween day. The DAMN batteries died on that stinkin' camera before I got 10 pictures. Boo-hiss.

Monday I mentioned to mom that I didn't get many photos on Baby's first Halloween and she said "get your butt in gear and buy a new camera, I'll pay". I know, I know, you are wondering why this is on Ella's blog....well here is the kicker.

Remember the camera that has been missing for 2, maybe 2 and a half months....

Wednesday, I got my new camera!! A sd1400is canon elph in PINK! As I was opening the package this conversation happens:

Ella: Oooh, what's that?
Me: A new camera.
Ella: Oh! I have a surprise Hilwe! Daddy, go get my backpack so I can show her!
Me: Ella! Did you find my camera?
Ella: *giant grin -- nodding*
Me: WhAt?!? I knew that would happen!!

That little stinker found the old camera this week....the same week I got a new one.

Geez.

xxoo,
Frootie!

Favorite Cousin: Geneva



No offense Kristopher, but she is gaga over Geneva.

Last weekend we went to Bowling Green to see family. Ella is just crazy about her cousins. We had a great weekend. The kids carved pumpkins one night. Thanks Uncle John!
