Experiment failure - but back on schedule!

So for the past few days, the babies have moved to a different eating schedule.  Instead of eating at 4am, 8am, noon, 4pm & 8pm, they moved two hours ahead (or behind - however you choose to view it).  That means they eat at 6pm and then around 10pm, but usually that's the time I'm over-exhausted and ready to pass out.  So last night I made the suggestion to put them to bed after they ate at 6pm.  Well, from the title, you can likely tell that the experiment did NOT work - they were all crying in their cribs within 5-10 minutes.  Olivia ended up eating a full 5 oz around 9:30pm and Amelia ate 2 oz.  Little T ended up falling asleep around 8pm and slept until 4am - the same time the two girls woke up to eat!  So all in all, what started as an experiment that didn't work, ended in getting everyone back on their original schedule that seemed to work pretty well.
