Sean 9️⃣ today

Lindo Wing, a few minutes after 10pm, 27th November 2008 (birth story here) 

Happy birthday to my wonderfully kind, gentle and warm hearted boy who's 9 today. Thank you Sean for teaching me unconditional love. Here are a few life lessons I put together for you this morning. 

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO:

say please and thank you

stand up to bullies

be especially kind to the elderly, disabled, children and animals

be a gentleman

forgive but not necessarily forget 

have at least one good friend

have a good firm hand shake

look people in the eye when speaking to them

always tell the truth

hold the door open if someone is behind you

and last but not least - love your mummy & daddy and accept if we make mistakes sometimes xxx

A family affair ♥︎

 Dad tagged along on the morning school run

The games on morfar's phone is far more fun than mummy's

Beautiful London morning

Family dinner at Erik's with both mum and dad - quite surreal lol 

Catching up and reminiscing of the good old days 

John John served meat (12 hours on the slow cooker) that melted in your mouth with roast potatoes - delish! 

It's not a real party until the guitar comes out! 

This was Dad's second visit this year

He also went with Alan to watch Sean practise football with his team Regents Park FC (he plays 3 hours every Saturday morning!)

Highlights from the weekend

On Friday afternoon Scarlett Grace and I jumped on the train to my Mum's in Amersham for a sleepover. 

We ordered our fave take away from the local Turkish and enjoyed having a girls only evening.

Sean and his good friend Ali (class mates) on their way to watch WWE Live at Wembley arena. 

It was Sean's early birthday treat and he was allowed to bring one friend. Both absolutely loved watching their wrestling heroes live (Triple H and Seth Rollins).

Hilarious video of the boys screaming out in excitement as their hero came out on stage unexpectedly 🙌

Heading to rugby practise Sunday morning

Butterfly chicken in cream and mushroom sauce 

Post rugby lunch at Cote Brasserie on the picturesque Marylebone High Street 

Meanwhile, over in St John's Wood...

...Sean, Karl (and Karl's mum Paula) and other mates went trick or treat too - Sean dressed up as a killer clown! 🤡

Happy 🎃 Halloween

T R I C K  O R  T R E A T around Marylebone yesterday. 👻

Anywhere 🎵

Half term means lie-ins and morning cuddles with my bambinos ❤️ I share a lot of music with them and we all have a Spotify play list each. Our latest addition is "Anywhere" - Rita Ora's latest fab tune. 

Our week in pics 👇

Strike a pose!
