Shea and Kate needed to spend some time cleaning their room. Not only are all their American girl dolls and their wardrobes all over the room, every dance recital and Halloween costume from the last decade was strewn about their room.

Shea came outside to tell me how excited she was because of how clean it was. She began begging Shad and I to come see it. She then reported that she was doing it all herself because Kate said she would “give her something really special” if she cleaned for her. She followed-up by saying “I don’t know what it is and neither does she yet but it’s going to be great – I know it!”
