Hello Mama's,
My son will turn nine next month and wants to have a sleepover. There will be three or four boy's invited. This will be his first sleepover and I have no clue what to plan to do for fun. We have a pool and a Wii, movies and of course toy's but other than that I have no idea what they can do to keep themselves occupied. I know a lot of you Mom's have experienced this so any help you can give would be so appreciated. I just want to give him a great party and make sure everyone has a good time. Thank you in advance for any help you can give!

Pool, Wii, movies and pizza--sounds like a great plan to me. If they get bored, pull out a stick and LIMBO! Kids will do that for hours! have fun. He's going to love it.
Like mentioned, make sure they know the rules of the house and for safety. I never went to sleepovers when I was young so they were new to me. When my daughters have had sleepovers (not for a party reason) they just hang out and do their own thing. I make sure they have some kind of snack and that is about it.
Your house sounds like a boy Paradise! They will have a blast! Also let your son pick a DVD or 2 in case they want to watch it before they go to sleep.
Make sure at t he beginning of the sleepover you explain any rules you have.
Pool Rules, Wii rules, food rules, going into certain rooms. whatever..
Also have a suggested time you think they should settle down for sleep. Make sure on the invite, you state what time the boys should be picked up..
I've done a lot of these games from this list! Have fun!

Just make sure there are plenty of snacks (not necessarily sweets) - growing boys are endless pits! You've got everything else covered, they'll have lots of fun!
When my son has friends spend the night, I always bake cookies or cupcakes that they can help bake/decorate.
But, like the other parent's said, it sounds like you have plenty to keep them occupied!
