Late night

So last night went a little later than I had anticipated. I left the house around 7pm with Peyton in tow to pick up a christmas gift for halli. The place we went to was about 30 min away, so it wasn't exactly a short trip. Peyton was being so good considering she had been strapped into her carseat for so long, and when we were less than 5 min. from home, the unthinkable happened. I was talking to my sis on the phone, a no-no, i know, but I was stopped at a red light, and then we were hit from behind. Peyton let out a little scream as it startled her, but she was fine.

It was almost 8:30 when this happened, and the cops, who were worried i'm sure, rushed to the scene within a half an hour. Kinda long response time, but the wreckers were there within minutes. Kevin came down as soon as I convinced him that I wasn't lying, and at the same time he arrived, the Monsons showed up as well. Thank goodness for an ice cream craving, they were out late and just happened to drive by and see the accident. The Monsons were sweet and took the girls home for us, and Kevin and I sat at the scene for over an hour while the officer took care of all the paperwork.

I don't have any pictures yet, but I was rear ended on the left hand side. The other driver had been trying to switch lanes and swerved back and hit me. The bummper was pretty crushed and the tail lights were hanging by wires. and neither of the doors on the left side of the car would open. I'm just thankful Halli wasn't in the car. She was dramatic enough as it was. When she arrived with Kevin, she ran to the car and wanted to sit in it, and was giving it hugs. Then this morning when she came into our room the first thing she said was that she missed her car. Poor girl gets so attached to things.

So anyway, we got our rental car this morning, and now we just get to got through the process of getting the car fixed and dealing with insurance. isn't it fun? We are so looking forward to it!
