I gave him my schedule for Beyond, Preparing and CTC. 
He finished all three in the same amount of time that it takes me! 
Went from 9-2:30 and did all our extras. I have to admit I was wondering how smooth it would go for him but no troubles at all. It just goes to show that if you are hitting them at their proper level doing three HOD programs is very doable. I was worried that even though we did HOD last year that adding another program might tip the scales, had a little back up plan with two programs just in case. It really has gone very well. 
And I have to admit my lazy habits have not changed this year. 
I still do not look ahead and just sort of spin the wheel to see it we have everything on the day of our school as we go. So far it's has it has been, experiments are easy to get done and projects are with stuff I have on hand. I think at this point being prepared might actually ruin our groove, hahaha! So we just go with it and find out the day of what is needed.What a blessing HOD is that I could just hand it to someone with my schedule and they could actually pull it off just as well as I can. Dh said doing three was a little bit harder but not a lot harder. It definitely does not feel like an extra program for some reason. But for anyone else considering three programs because of where they fall it really seems to work well. I did have the knowing how HOD works under my belt and so does my dh really because he has taught school for us before last year. But really it is seeming pretty easy to get done and we are loving it. My kids are actually more excited this year than they were last year if that is possible. My only problem is my middle kids have two ways to be jealous of other activities becasue they see Beyond (which they never did) and CTC (which they will do next year). And my son is constantly asking if he can do the stuff in CTC as well and sometimes Beyond activities. And the older kids are all reading the books in Beyond. That is not a problem but it is just funny I think if I told them they had to do it then they would not be so eager but having it sort of be like sneaking someone else's program adds to the intrigue.
Funny how that works. Anyway more of a brag on HOD than dh but he did do a good job today.
And I was excited to see that doing three programs worked well for him as well so I thought I would share.
So, get better soon!
