Movie Posters with Names that Don't Line Up

Madison did better on her math test with the retake, although it's notable that she got an 89 on it, and not the typical A.  It's the confusing nature of math word problems, which can be confounding not necessarily related to math skills, but more related to trying to figure out tricky wording.  Daddy has trouble with comprehension too, especially with this new curriculum.

Anyway, the weather is warmer outside, and it seems pretty likely that our chances for snow are going away too.  Not that we mind as much - we're all generally tired of the constant colder temperatures.  It's been a sustained cold this winter, and one without much snow.  It's a good thing we had that one big day a while ago.

Despite the lack of snow, we've been having snowball fights galore.  Madison started it Sunday with these fake snowballs that you can buy from the store.  They're pretty lightweight, and don't hurt that much.  But they can fly pretty good, and ever since Sunday, they've been flying left and right in the office!

We're getting ready for a quick trip, so we activated a new cell phone that we'll be using for a bit.  It's a flip phone, which is so wonderfully retro!  It's President's Break, and the trip we're taking is down to Daytona for the beach again.  We just realized we'll be there, right when the Daytona 500 will be going on, so that might add an extra bit of flavor this weekend.

One of the movies we're bringing with us is a movie Madison got for Valentine's Day tomorrow, the movie "Wonder."  And here's a brief commentary about the movie packaging:

So we bought the movie “Wonder,” because we all really loved it.  But look at the cover.

     Why can’t they ever match up the names of the actors at the top with their pictures below?  Clearly, it should be “Owen Wilson - Jacob Tremblay - Julia Roberts.”  

     I mean, I get it with “top billing” and all, but in the end, your movie poster is distracting for people with hyper editing powers like me.  Like look at this one:

Or these:

I know we’re all discussing seemingly more important matters on social media platforms, but this is one of those things that should go straight to the top.

That’s pretty much all I wanted to say there.

We'll watch that movie in Florida, as tonight, Daddy wanted to watch another Olympic-themed movie, "Ice Princess."  It's a nice movie, one Madison and Mommy liked a lot.  Mommy was trying to pack, but kept pausing to stop and watch the movie as it went along.

We were able to watch this movie tonight, because we don't have school tomorrow.  That said, we had "movie night" and ballet/jazz night.  Yes, there was the typical two and a half hours of dancing for Madison.  They're gearing up for recitals and of course "Frozen."  Time is going by quickly!

That's one good reason to take a break tomorrow, and head south.  We'll keep typing this up tomorrow in Florida...
