Here is my adopted family, The Affleck-Garners, out and about looking picture perfect.  Look at little Seraphina.  She is so precious.  She might even be cuter than her sister Violet was at that age.  Can’t wait to see these two all grown up!

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck took Violet and Seraphina to the Manhattan Museum yesterday. It seems like we’ve seen Ben Affleck out with the family a little more lately, probably due to the fact that he just finished The Town and has some more time on his hands. Or because The Town is going to come out soon and nothing drums up awareness for your film like stepping out with your hot wife and adorable daughters.

Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck and their kids Violet & Seraphina went to a soccer camp and then to the park yesterday.

Stacey, do you find it gross to see your new parents kissing? I think it’s cute that they’re giving us a public display of affection, but I still wonder how much of it is because of the cameras and how much is in spite of the cameras.

Stacey: Eeeeewwwwwwww.  Mom, Dad, stop!  You are embarrassing me!

The other day, Tanya asked the Smith’s to adopt her because, well, they are pretty freakin’ cool.  If you can put up with a llittle Scientology or Tom Cruise, they would be a pretty sweet family to belong to.  No word yet from their camp but I am keeping my fingers crossed for you, Tan!

Me, on the other hand, if I could be adopted by any family, I would want it to be the Affleck/Garners.  Why?  Well, while daddy Ben is a huge movie star he likes to stay out of the spotlight but be highly involved in political causes that are important to him, mommy Jen seems to spend so much time with her kids going to the park, taking them to and from school; real hands on.  And because of the girls, Violet and Seraphina. They are so SO gorgeous.  Look at those faces!  Ben and Jen make the most beautiful babies.  Which doesn’t really affect me all that much but who wants to hang out with ugly babies?  Not me.  Plus, maybe I would get a cool new name like theirs.

Ben and Jen, are you looking for a new family member?

And just for funsies, check out the new trailer for The Town with Ben which looks so awesome.

Tanya: My fingers are crossed for you Stace LaLa, and if they DO adopt you can I come over for play dates? I’d love to go hang out at the park with you guys.

I’m not one to call out “BABY BUMP!” when someone is looking a little bloated, mostly because if I was a celeb I’d always be on bump watch , but I’ve gotta say that Jennifer Garner is looking suspiciously large for someone so petite. Wasn’t she getting a hard time about being too skinny just a few months ago?

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner make the most adorable kids and both Violet and Seraphina always look so happy so if it’s true, congrats!!! If not, well, maybe Jennifer Garner just ate an extra croissant to shut Julia Roberts up.

Stacey: I hate bump watch too because it is extremelyoffensive, but i have got to say that I think Jen may be knocked up.  Its just the way the bump looks in the top picture.  Its all up front and when you get chubby it usually goes all around, like an inner tube.  Ya for more Affleck babies!  They are the cutest. 

I don’t blame Jen if she is preggo.  If I were procreating with Ben Affleck, I would be pregnant all the time too.

Jennifer Garner took Seraphina and Violet to the market for some groceries the other day and check out the red wagon! Violet & Seraphina are so cute.

Stacey: Love these girls!  So beautiful, all of them

It seems like it has been forever since we have seen Violet Affleck out and about.  She is just so adorable.  Its like she got the best of both her parents genes.  Those dimples!  They kill me!

And Ben is looking pretty good too.  Daddy Ben is my favorite.  Except for Armageddon Ben.  He was so hot in that movie.

Jennifer Garner has gotten some slack about the loss of her baby fat (most notably from Julia Roberts) but I’m going to come to her defense here. Carry two kids like this? That is a lot of work. Kids are heavy. I have a niece who is Violet’s age, and probably 5-10 pounds lighter, who wants to be carried all the time and she gets heavy really fast. My arms, abs, legs, back, pretty much everything, feels the burn after carrying her about 3 blocks. That’s when I have to hand her off to someone else.

So, if you want a good workout carry some kids. They don’t hold on (unless they’re holding around your neck, like Violet here, then they hold on too tight and cut off your air supply), they squirm and you have to continue to hold them when they kick you, elbow you and put their hands in your ears/eyes/mouth. It’s tough work and will definitely help you lose fat and build muscle.

Jennifer Garner & Violet Affleck are in Disneyland and took a spin on the Teacup Ride.

So. Much. Fun.

The teacup ride used to be my fave. I’d go so fast I wouldn’t be able to walk straight after. Now I get incredibly sick. Not quite “throw-up sick” but “lay on the bed in a half coma with the worst hangover ever” kinda sick.

Enjoy it while you can Violet, enjoy it while you can.

Stacey: I LOVE rides!  Everything except the Ferris Wheel.  The ferris wheel really antagonizes my fear of plummeting to my death.  But the tea cups are the shizznit.  Unlike Tanya, I don’t get sick.  The faster, the dizzier, the better.  Weeeee! 

This makes me want to go to Disney World too!  I am heading to Florida in March.  We may have to hit up the Magic Kingdom

Here is Violet having her cute little self carried around by her other parent, Ben Affleck.  We always Violet out with Jenn Garner that I sometimes forget that Ben is her dad.

Have I ever mentioned that I love Ben Affleck.  I especially love Ben Affleck the dad.  So yummy.

T: Ben Affleck the dad is a good Ben Affleck. Totally agree with you there Stace. Have you ever noticed that Jen & Ben always wear the most athletic footwear? Like full running shoes everyday. Even before they were running after kids. I’ve never personally been a fan of this look; I’m all for sneakers but I far prefer some hip sneaks to the “athletic” sneaks.
