It's taken Jared and Zita Bish several days to  decorate their house for their annual Halloween party.

 

Jared finishes the dishes...	while Zita checks everything one last time.	After changing, Jared plays a game of solitaire...	while Zita takes a nap...	then takes care of the last-minute preparations.

 

The bedroom will be off-limits during the party.	The guests begin to arrive on schedule.
Jared and Zita hired a company to help them with their special haunted maze.	But they took care of everything else themselves.

 

		The campfire is a big hit, as the October air is a bit chilly for some of the costumes.

 

Once the party moves inside, the bubble machine becomes a popular attraction.

 
 

Jerry shows off his mime act.  ; )	The buffet is a big hit - Zita really outdid herself this year.
When Jodi takes a bathroom break,  Jared notices his wifes witchy painting for the first time.	The party is in full swing even before dark.

Jodi compliments Zita on the food.	A game of charades breaks out later in the evening...	and lasts for quite some time.

Afterwards, Zita is quite pleased.  The guests stayed late into the night...	but even the bathroom is still in good shape.
