working hard to earn a livin

even after Grayson got a million birds for his birthday, he had some birthday money to spend, and he knew just what he wanted to get - more birds.  we'd taken the boys to spend their christmas/birthday money in early Jan, but they did not have enough money for what they wanted, so we have been assigning them extra jobs to do to get enough.  On this day they both just needed one more dollar, and then we promised to take them to the store.

they are pretty proud of themselves for earning the money
