Cold Cold Cold

While the temperature hovers at the -20 degrees, we are all wishing we were south in the warm air of Mexico! Winnipeg had -40 plus the windchill which made it around - 60. YUCK!
We are off to Regina this weekend for another track meet and we plan on staying at Dave and Joy's for a visit. Then back to Outlook and I am at Teacher's Convention Monday and Tuesday. I am presenting on using technology in the classroom. This blogging is fun and I'm going to share the excitement about this technology!
We are heading for Kimberley after that and will be hitting the slopes Thursday. Matthew turns 15 on the 16th and he is quite excited!!
The only news from Outlook is that Jody Ogilvie (formerly Burke) was involved in a head on collision with a SuperB Semi this week. She suffered some horrible breaks and some internal injuries, but is, it seems, coming around and is expected to be okay. It will take a long time to heal but we are all so relieved that it wasn't worse.
Take care - be safe, Love the Balleks

If you are reading this blog from somewhere other than Saskatchewan, you may not be "enjoying" the same sub-zero temperatures that we are. Minus 34 with the wind chill this morning and driving home from Saskatoon last night was blizzardy (small scale only!).
Things are hectic to the supreme this week as the hockey league winds up and we move into play-offs. It's hard to believe that in less than 2 months, we will be pulling out the ball gloves and sunflower seeds. Wishful thinking on a day like today!
Mason had a great game in Vanscoy last weekend, scoring 3 goals and getting an assist. He was ON FIRE! Last weekend, both Matthew and Austin go penalties in their game against Unity - one right after another. Goons.
We are heading out to Kimberley for a ski vacation with the Kulbida's from Saskatoon. This should be fun and restful and hopefully no one will break anything!
Mom - I hope your flight to Mexico was uneventful! Thanks for the shopping and supper :)
