1/8 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar

2.Mix together the cake mix, 1/2 cup dark rum, eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil, and vanilla pudding mix. Pour batter over the nuts in the pan.
3.Bake for 1 hour. Cool, and invert cake on a serving plate. Prick the top of the cake.

Doesn't this sound awesome? I still have some rum left over from the rum balls Aaron and I made way back when. I never knew cooking with alcholic products could be so much fun!!
My cousin Blenda had Ms. Kylie yesterday morning she weighed 8 pounds 6 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. She is a cutie!! Welcome to our crazy family!!
Tonight I also plan on straightening the house before Mr. C. gets home. I need to put finishing touches on the craft room as well. The week he is home I make sure to pick up and clean behind myself..the week he is gone it's like oh I will get to it later and let the house get messy. I so need to get out of that mindset!!
Guess I need to get off here and get some work done! Have a totally awesome day! Thanks for stopping by and visiting with me today!
