He may have an Oscar sitting on his mantle piece but actor and director Ben Affleck knows that his daddy duties come first.

The Argo star was spotted dropping his adorable daughters  Violet and Seraphina off at summer school on Tuesday.

Ben had dressed up for his morning with his girls as he ferried them to their activities.

The 40-year-old looked smart in his black jeans, checked shirt and coordinating blue blazer that he elft buttoned up.

The star was spotted dropping off eldest daughter, seven-year-old Violet at her summer school near their home in Pacific Palisades, California.

Violet’s little sister Seraphina,4, came along for the ride with both girls looking adorable in their colourful ensembles.

Violet looked summery in her green striped dress and pink trainers whilst her little sister looked like she had raided the fancy dress box in her printed anorak which she matched with a pink pom pom in her hair.

The girls looked besotted with a dog that bounded up to greet them as they climbed out of their car with Violet reaching down to pet the pooch.

After seeing Violet safely inside her school, Ben was seen clutching the hand of his youngest daughter as they walked back to the car.

Seraphina missed out on a family outing with dad Ben and mum Jennifer Garner on Sunday as the couple hit the Pacific Palisades Farmer’s Market with Violet and their 1-year-old son Samuel.

 

The 41-year-old mother of three kept it casual in jeans, a navy sweatshirt and grey Tom's shoes as she tried the fruit and veg on offer and pushed Samuel's stroller.

Her hunky hubby looked dapper in dark denim and a black polo shirt.

The children kept it comfy with 7-year-old Violet in a green and grey striped tank dress and purple Nike sandals. Samuel, 1, had on grey below-the-knee shorts, a striped top, red and white Nike tennis shoes and a Boston baseball cap.

The A-list family seemed to have a good time, smiling and laughing as they tried the market delights.

Jen brought her reusable tote bag with her to help carry the groceries.

She stocked her family up on avocados, berries and a variety of greens among other items.

While Ben wasn't pictured holding any bags, he did push Samuel's stroller part of the time, which doubled as a flower and doll carrier.

Both Ben and Jen have been busy lately.

Jen was snapped earlier this month on the set of her new film, Imagine, where she stars with Al Pacino.

The Alias star also recently finished the Dallas Buyers Club and Draft Day.

But the gorgeous actress dosen't let her high-flying career keep her from her most important job.

The doting mother was seen just days before picking up her youngest daughter Seraphina from dance class and then taking her other daughter Violet out for lunch.

Her Academy Award winning hubby meanwhile has been working on Runner Runner, Live by Night and Gone Girl.

I wish the paps would leave them alone, its not fair to intrude on them all the time. Whilst the Ben and Jennifer know all that comes with being in the public eye, those children deserve a normal life.

Go on Youtube and watch a video of the Afflecks being hounded by paparazzi when with their children- it looks terrifying and I really do feel for the poor kids being shouted at so aggressively by grown men desperate for a photo.

Ben the family man! LOL I've no idea how these girls dress the way they dress... PS Why all these "stars" don't get together to all go to court about paps is beyond me. I would have done it long ago. That just shows that they're not really smart people.
