Jennifer Garner Blogging For Save the Children Pictures

Jennifer Garner, Violet Affleck, and Seraphina Affleck ran errands together around LA yesterday dressed in coordinated shades of pink and blue. Today Jen stepped out solo to visit the nail salon, and later picked up a green smoothie. Jen, the girls, baby Samuel, and Ben had a busy weekend that included trips to the farmers market, birthday parties, and more. Ben's back on the West Coast following a month-long stay in Puerto Rico filming Runner, Runner. He's prepping for another big trip soon. His next directing project, Argo, makes its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. Ben could also be planning a trip to Italy since his other soon-to-be-released drama, To the Wonder, screens in Venice Sunday.

Ben's not the only one with a premiere to prep for; Jen's long awaited Butter finally hits theaters Sept. 4. It's been over a year since production wrapped on the political comedy, but Jen's been busy with family, movies, and writing ever since. As an artist ambassador for Save the Children, Jennifer's been writing about children in need. Jennifer Garner's latest blog post went up yesterday and centers around the importance of early childhood education.
