Hand-Me-Down Trick-or-Treat

My three trick-or-treaters:
Buzz Lightyear, a gladiator and a Power Ranger.

And next year, Buzz will be "retired" after three boys have worn it, but the other costumes will appear again (just on a different child).
I have to try to find the "good" in having three boys, and one thing that's great is that I don't have to spend a lot on costumes -- I just buy one costume every year (lucky Joel, he gets to pick whatever he wants) and then it gets passed down through all three boys.
This year however, Evan got lucky and borrowed the Power Ranger costume from a friend and we let the friend use one of our old costumes. But next year, unless Evan finds a friend to borrow from, he will be the pirate that Joel was last year.
FYI: It's mid-November and we still have candy all over the house! Ugh!
