#SundayFunday

For #SundayFunday pick a museum, aquarium, or zoo to go to. Try to pick a museum that has interactive exhibits like a Children's Museum or The Museum of Science and Natural History. Maybe your local art museum even has some interactive opportunities. To make it even more engaging you could create a scavenger hunt for everyone to participate in at the chosen musuem or zoo. Most museums have a section on their websites for teachers and you can find different resources there to help make your visit interactive. So go out there and have some fun!

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment. 

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.
