Crazy Halloween!!!

While Halloween has come and gone, and let me just tell you it will be one I will remember forever!! It started off as another normal day, I was running really late for work so I decided to take the van rather then the car because I didn't have two extra minutes to get it out of the garage. Dave dropped the girls off at work on his way to work, and just left me with the van for some reason. (usually he takes it cause he likes it better) so I work till about noon and get off and start taking the girls home for lunch-Dave was waiting for us at home to have lunch together. Well I was about 4 blocks from my house when someone ran a stop sign and totally t-boned us in the intersection! It spun the van around a complete 180 and the other car veered off and ended up hitting a tree. It was so scary. most of the impact was on the driver side sliding door, right where Cheyenne was sitting!! Both girls were screaming and I was just shaking like a leaf. I had to climb out the other side of the van, since my door was jammed, and quickly got my girls out to see if they were okay. A kind neighbor came and took Dakota well I helped Cheyenne. Dave came with a bottle, cause Dakota was more hungry then hurt, so the neighbor lady fed her the bottle while I helped Cheyenne. She just wouldn't stop crying and kept saying that her neck hurt. So to be on the safe side the ambulance took both girls to the hospital, and poor Cheyenne needed to wear a neck brace. She was so scared, and kept saying she didn't want to be in "the big truck" Everyone ended up being okay, Cheyenne just had a little whiplash from the straps of her seat, and was shaken up a bit, but she is just fine, and Dakota was barely phased. It was such a mirlcle that we were in the van that day rather then the car. The van is pretty much totaled, but God was really looking out for us yesterday. Everyone was so fine that we went trick or treating at night. Cheyenne loved it and the only thing that scared her was a bill clinton mask!! It was a crazy day and I cied a little putting the girls to bed. God is so great andit reminded me how muchI love my girls even when they drive me crazy!!!
