Ben Affleck and Violet visit The Child Success Center.

For Jennifer and Ben’s Halloween 2008, Jennifer was seven months pregnant with their second daughter, Seraphina (born in January 2009). Jennier’s Halloween outfit: “a furry dog” to match the costume of their daughter Violet, now 4 (mother and daughter went as Fred and Ted, pooches from a children’s book with the same title). Jennifer revealed to W magazine that she felt “so fat and huge and ugly” that day.

Which is why for Halloween 2009, Jennifer avoided dressing up altogether while her daughters and Ben portrayed characters from the Little Mermaid: Violet was Ariel, Seraphim was fishy friend Flounder, and Ben was Ariel’s dad Triton, King of the Sea.

Jennifer is a hands-on mother who even makes her own baby food, she told W. “I tell myself, just give her a jar of food and forget about it! Don’t be so precious! But it’s so easy–I just puree and freeze,” she said.

Although she’s made time for some film work, Jennifer said the past year or so has been more or less about full-time motherhood. Her schedule: “Getting the kids up and fed, getting one to school, getting the other down for a nap, going to the grocery store, picking one up from school, getting the other one down for another nap, cooking dinner.”

“I live my life at these two extremes,” she said. “I’m either a full-time stay-at-home mom or a full-time actress.”

Jennifer and Ben, 37, were married in June 2005, when Jennifer was three months pregnant with Violet. We were together a year, and we just started breeding,” she joked. “We were like, ‘Let’s have a baby!’ And eight days later…”

On a rainy Sunday, Jennifer, 37, and Violet, 3, were snapped walking around Boston.

Jennifer recently shared that she has taken on the decidedly unglamorous job of “scrubbing the toilets” at Violet’s school! The co-operative preschool in Boston that Violet is attending is the same one that Ben attended!

“Parents run the school, so I work at the preschool,” said Jennifer. “It’s a lot of toilet scrubbing… painting and pulling out staples. But it’s fun because you get to chat with other moms.

“Ben and I take turns. Right now he’s directing but just wait when it’s his turn… he’s going to have to make macaroni and cheese for every potluck [group dinner].”

Violet is wearing Hunter boots.
