April 8th 2015 - Cinnamon and sand

Lil man has been outside the past few days as the weather has been nice, and hes been playing in his sand pit, but has moaned that there is bugs in it!

Well I looked on pinterest and found this link about adding cinnamon to the sandpit as it repels the bugs.  So I added 1/2 bottle of cinnamon into the sandpit and mixed it in really well.   The sand now had a slight cinnamon smell and STILL has bugs in it a few hours later.  So i've wasted my cinnamon and not solved the problem as yet.  I will keep checking the sandpit over next few days and see if there's any change.
