Being careful to keep first things first, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted tending to her motherly duties earlier today in London, England.

The “Running With Scissors” stunner looked content as she picked up her son Moses Martin from school, staying warm in a black wool overcoat and black leather boots.

Released a week ago, the new Coldplay album Viva La Vida has already been receiving public and critical acclaim. And last night, Chris Martin and company rocked Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Martin’s wife Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted hanging out after the concert at a post-show party in the Big Apple’s West Village, along with guy pal Ed Burns.

After a busy week in New York City that included attending benefits for both the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the New York City Food Bank, Gwyneth Paltrow is back home with her family in England.

The “Shakespeare in Love” babe was spotted, along with her son Moses and daughter Apple, arriving back in London yesterday. And according to a recent interview, the absence of her husband Chris Martin isn’t anything to be alarmed at.
