Favorite Things - dancing

When we built our house, we included a space for exercise as we are committed to staying active, and modeling health to our children. Andy installed a ballet barre for me and the  girls. The mirrored wall behind it has been shattered in three different places in almost three years.

The first accident was when I decided that the ballet barre would be a good place for Mary Jayne to practice her roller skating. She could hang on the barre for a while, and I could have my hand back. I forgot  to think about the possibility of her skate rolling out from underneath her and into the glass. Oops!

The second incident involved Brennan whirling a plastic dinosaur through the air at top speed...One more broken spot when it launched into the mirror.

The third happened during a play date with Mary Jayne and her best bud Emma. 

My shadow 

Somehow my giant exercise ball became their toy and Emma crashed into the mirror. No one was hurt.

We have packing tape holding the pieces together. We will repair it in time, but this season of life is messy. Accidents occur. We will keep on dancing, regardless of the brokenness around us.
