#SundayFunday


Why not invite friends, and family, over today - or to a park - and play some games that don't require electricity or wifi? There's a million ideas out there for games to play with toddlers all the way up to adults. Between Google and Pinterest you won't hurt for ideas. Choose a variety of games and activities that include staying dry and getting wet (it is August after all!) plus some games for the shade and those humans - big and little - who like to do some low key things.

If you can do s'mores that's always a win, so are frozen treats like ice cream cones and popsicles, and make sure you have lots of water to keep everyone hydrated. If you decide to extend the get together into a meal time then invite everyone to bring their own meat and assign everyone a side dish or dessert to bring to share with everyone.

I find that some of the best and most fun get togethers I have ever been to have been spontaneous ones so don't put too much planning into this #SundayFunday, just go with the flow and have fun!

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.

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.
