Cutie pie Violet Affleck got a lift from her mom Jennifer Garner and a friend in Los Angeles over the weekend.  The mom and daughter were spotted on the UCLA campus where they met up with some other kids for a play date. 

It's been a while since we've seen Jen on screen, she's been a bit busy raising her girls, but she will return this spring in the movie Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.  Jen will co-star with Matthew McConaughey in this romantic comedy about a bachelor who can't run away from his past loves.

   

Bearded dad Ben Affleck fulfilled his fatherly duties yesterday afternoon while picking up his daughter Violet Affleck from her Los Angeles school yesterday afternoon.  Violet looked super psyched to see dad as she held a bag full of sugar cookies; man, I wish that my day was filled with cookie making!

It's a rainy Wednesday y'all!  I think the West coast sent it our way, thanks guys!

Little Violet Affleck normally gets a lift after school from dad Ben Affleck, but yesterday afternoon both dad and mom Jennifer Garner were there to pick her up!

Ben carried the forever-smiling Violet away from her Santa Monica school while Jen walked next to them.  It's great to see Jen out and about and looking like a regular new mom!  It's nice once in a while to see celebrities acting like normal people and wearing sweatshirts and not feeling compelled to be super slim. 

    

What celebrity dad flashed us a bit of his delicates this afternoon? Who the whofleck could it be?!
Give up?  It's Ben Affleck!

We spotted Ben picking up Violet Affleck from her Los Angeles school like he does every afternoon when his shirt lifted and got to sneak a peek at his undies.  I like his choice of Old Navy briefs...it's subtle DILF-iness. 

   

We spotted Ben Affleck and Violet Affleck looking like the cutest matching pair this afternoon.  Ben did his fatherly duty and picked up Violet at her preschool in Los Angeles afternoon; both were wearing dark tops and khaki colored pants (Vi went with corderoys). 

     

Why walk when you can get carried around?!

We spotted cutie pie dad and daughter, Ben and Violet Affleck, as they were leaving Violet's school in Santa Monica.  Ben is like Violet's own personal school bus-with door to door service! Hopefully sometime soon we'll get to see Ben scooping up Seraphina!

   

She is sooooo pregnant!

We spotted Jennifer Garner, who is still somehow managing to get around, with her daughter Violet Affleck at the ballet over the weekend.  The cute pair took in some holiday entertainment, watching The Nutcracker at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus.  You have to give it up for Jen, she's managing to bring some culture to her daughter while at the same time smuggling a beach ball under her sweater!

     

Jennifer Garner and Violet Affleck are one cute pair! The mom and daughter duo were spotted in Santa Monica this afternoon.  Jen hoisted Violet up onto her big baby bump while Violet was outfitted in a tutu and a big smile. Violet recently celebrated her third birthday, on the path to becoming a big girl!

     

The Affleck-Garner fam had some fun in New York City this weekend.  Ben Affleck was in town to host Saturday Night Live, while Jen and Violet went to a birthday party in Soho.  Yesterday they all met up and went to the Scholastic book store.  Check out the trio (soon to be foursome) as they head into a car, that Violet is too darn cute!

Violet Affleck could possibly be my favorite toddler in Hollywood.  She is probably tied with with Kingston Rossdale for the title, they should totally go on a (play) date!

We spotted the tot, with pigtails and stripped tights, being whisked away by her dad Ben Affleck after attending pre-school in Santa Monica yesterday.  Mom Jen Garner also shared carrying duties despite the fact she's carrying an actual baby at the moment.

Jen's former Alias co-star Bradley Cooper thinks she'll have "no problem" being a mom to two kids. "She was a great leader for a TV show I did with her and she can literally do anything. So she can certainly run a family," he told People. He added, "She’s wonderful and a genuine good person. She has all the qualities in being the perfect mom – very sweet and loving."

Aww, we tend to think Bradley is right!
