::magical road signs::



 Finally!
Finally!
Finally!
We have the signs hung!
This has been a side project since winter.
Every now and then I would get inspired and want to paint a sign or two.  Lily helped some, and we managed to have enough done to hang them up.  Of course Josh was in charge of construction - as usual.  The post is a junk tree that was straight enough to be sacrificed to the name of art.  Poor Josh had to hang signs while Lily and I nit picked each ones location and even made him move some around a few times. Quinny was happy to help.   

 
 Notice that Burk has burnt edges?  
Toothless is such a trouble maker. 


There is plenty of space to add more signs.  
Next on the agenda is Space Mountain.  

 And here is what happens when you take a babies drill away.  
Melt down.
