Hi,
I have no ideas, honestly, I just wanted to commend you on doing a sleepover for eight boys in the first place! Right there, you're ahead of me by miles. You're a good mom and a brave one - no matter what you do to keep the tribe occupied, you'll go down in history as the "cool" mom -- in your son's book and in ours! Good luck and Godspeed, Intrepid Mother!
:-)
PS: Ok, I feel guilty. Here's the only tip I've carried with me from my own teen sleepover days. One mom was smart enough have a contest running for the duration of the visit. In our case, being girls, it was Miss Congeniality. But it could be Best Sport, Nicest Guy, Best Gentleman, whatever. The key was that she Showed us the prize Before we started - and it was cool. We all wanted it. Then at the end of the sleep-over, we all voted on who should win. It was great. It was the best-behaved sleepover I ever attended. Of course, I'm biased, 'cause guess who won Miss Congeniality...! lol Good luck!
