Dumb camera batteries

I went to take pics of my newest project to get up here a while ago and the batteries in my camera are dead. I thought it might be the camera, but all the batteries are doing the same thing and one set let it come on for a sec then went off cause they are dead to. I am charging batteries now and as soon as they are charged I will have a cute lil project on here. Check back it's a cute one! ;)
