Of all the days for my camera to die!

So, Toby blew out the candles and, although we tried to stage several re-enactments of the event for our internet viewers - my camera still refused to cooperate. 

So Oliver says, "So, uh... how about a new camera for mothers' day?" 

I'm kind of in denial about it. I keep taking the batteries out and putting them back in again. Turning it on and off - but it won't let me take any pictures.
