French Phrases

Prépare-toi pour une journée incroyable!
Get ready for an incredible day.
This was the phrase on our French Living Language calendar on Tuesday. I knew we would have a more interesting day than usual. The kids were out of school for a planning day, and Ian had a friend come over for the morning.
He came with a mission-- to find worms for a fishing trip that afternoon. The kids were definitely ready for the challenge, so off we went.

They had a lot of success in this spot.

Even Isabelle got in on the action. She wasn't afraid to pick up any of the worms!

If you zoom in on this picture, you can see some of the worms in the picture. The mission was a success.

French Phrases

We studied weather terms in class and learned some interesting phrases that are used here in Quebec.

1) Il fait un froid de canard.
This means that it is the cold of duck. It means really cold, and I think it has some thing to do with the birds migrating.

2) Il fait un temps à ne pas mettre un chien dehors.
This means that it is so cold you would not put your dog outside.

3) Il fait un vent à décorner un boeuf.
This means that it is so wind would blow the horns off of a cow. Of course, after living in Browning for four years, we don't really think that it is that windy!
