I did not get home until after five yesterday.  That really throws a wrench into our homeschool routine.  We did not finish our reading aloud until 6:30 or so.  After dinner, we started in on math corrections and the two or three small items the kids had not finished during the day.  We did not finish up until after 10:00 PM.  I wanted to work on the robot project with Christian, but that did not happen.  Still, I got a reminder of how hard the kids work.  Currently we are letting a few things fall through the cracks, writing being the principle one, but we have a plan in place to work on that and a book that should arrive in a day or two titled I Hate Writing: The Unofficial Guide to Freshman Composition and Undergraduate Writing. We hope to start making some systematic changes in the way we work on our writing as soon as that book arrives.  Hopefully, Christian and I will be able to start working on our robotic programming project tonight.
