I waited and ended up signing up to bring one of three apple pies. I don't think I got stuck with the hardest task -- one of the parents has to send ice cream, which I wouldn't want to transport.
I had a bag of apples, so I thought we'd make an apple pie. Both of the kids really seem to enjoy making things in the kitchen and for some reason I felt energetic. I no longer do!
The kids enjoyed watching the process from start to finish (I'd made the dough for the crust ahead of time and just had to roll it out) and helping when possible. But, the most enjoyable thing was playing in the flour! I kept telling Conall not to mix it with the apples.
As soon as I was done, they were in the flour left from rolling out the dough! At some point, Conall had got them both a car to bury and drive through the flour. I don't have photos from making the pie -- that was too chaotic. But, I have photos of them playing in the flour with cars.
Now, if we can just get the pie to school without any mishaps -- Conall has already stuck his finger in the baked pie and Caitlin declared at dinner "I want apple pie".
