Oh good heavens... these boys are mischievous!! They were up in their room for bed, quietly talking to each other, for about 30 minutes when I went up to check on them. I kept the light off, but took Eli by the hand to lead him back to bed and was greeted with a palmful of squish! When I turned on the light, I saw this guilty face! (Pic taken after I took his pj top off because it was covered in Vaseline!) 
The evidence... the whole container was all over their walls! 
Once we got the big globs off the wall, we enlisted their help to 'wipe up' the mess. The walls were already destroyed, so we figured they might as well think they were helping to clean up.
We have tried a couple different things to get the grease off the walls, all with no luck. No idea what to try next. We talked to them while we were all cleaning about how bad this is, how it's a big mess, how this is 'mommy's stuff' and that they shouldn't touch it. Now when they walk into their room, they say "Big mess. Not feel bad." YES YOU DO FEEL BAD!!

I talked with Andrew about this after my initial advice. He agreed that you should NOT use paint thinner or anything else caustic and that soapy water will get into the drywall. He suggests replacing the drywall.
What a drag. So sorry!
OH MY GOODNESS! What a mess. Those silly boys... reaffirms my 'cribs forever' campaign. HAHA! :)
