So I was going to post a seriously awesome Cthulhu drawing by our little monster the other day in honour of H.P. Lovecraft's birthday. BUT as I prepared to take a picture of it for the blog, I discovered to my horror that my digital camera had been crushed beyond all recognition. Ahhhhhhhhh!
The theory is that a backpack it was in got crushed in the truck's gate. But really we have no idea how it happened. What I DO know is that it is a great source of woe, and that now I have to look for a new camera. Bah!
In any case, Cthulhu will have to wait until I have new photography equipment (or hook my computer up to the scanner. But I'm sure he's worth the wait.
In other up and coming bloggy news, I located our daughter's amateur field guide to monsters in a stack of papers and will be posting that soon...once I grab a camera or hook up the scanner.
AND we've spent a lot of the summer doing one of our very favourite things - prowling all the used bookstores we can find for awesome things to read. We even used a road trip as an excuse to haunt used bookstores halfway across the province! Aside from pushing us way past book capacity and necessitating a trip to IKEA for a full THREE new bookcases, we found some awesome spooky kids' books you'll love!
(Because I'm sure you're fascinated by the trivia of my life: the book cataloguing software I bought a few weeks ago tells me we have 122 KinderScares books...and I'm not NEARLY done scanning everything in the house)
SO. Summer (and our conspicuous internet absence) is coming to a close. We're just about done with the amusement park and zoo going, road-trip taking, yard work torture, house-rearranging, and all that other good stuff. And have tons of books and other crazy stuff waiting in the wings (with poor old wait-listed Cthulhu). So hang in there folks! We're just about back. And we hope you've all been having as much fun this summer as we have!
S.
