Beginning their week on a family front, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were spotted dropping off their daughter Violet at nursery school earlier today (November 10).

The “Sum of All Fears” stud and his “Catch and Release” wife looked like the picture of parental bliss as they escorted their 2 ½-year-old to school for the day, with Ben sporting a grey t-shirt and jeans while Jen opted for a black scoopneck maternity shirt and jeans.

In a recent interview, Garner’s former “Alias” costar Victor Garber told press that she’s doing quite well and that Ben couldn’t be happier.

“She’s doing absolutely great. I’m very excited about the new child and I just love spending time with them. They’re a great family.”

As for Violet, “Oh, she is just an astonishing child. She looks just like her mother! She’s her mother’s daughter.”

Keeping up on their parental duties, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were spotted escorting their daughter Violet to preschool this morning (November 4).

The “Armageddon” stud and his “Alias” wife looked a bit tired as they hopped out of their SUV, then again, Jen was sporting an iced beverage from Starbucks to rectify her fatigue.

Jennifer Lopez, Affleck recently told press that their demise probably had something to do with the fact that they were so accessible to the media.

He revealed, “I think Jen and I made a mistake in that we fell in love, we were excited and maybe too accessible. I don’t think either of us anticipated the degree to which it would take on a world of its own.”

But on the bright side, if they hadn’t broken up, we wouldn’t have celebrity babies like Violet, Max, and Emme to coo over!

Making for family time in the midst of what’s been a hectic New York City trip, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were spotted out shopping with daughter Violet at Scholastic Store in Soho on Sunday (November 2).

During his SNL monologue, Ben spoke mostly about his volunteer efforts as part of the democratic campaigns. Realizing that he’s been backing losing candidates, Ben jokingly officially endorsed nominee JohnMcCain. “I’m sure he’ll be thrilled,” Ben says.

Following his appearance, Ben and Jen then headed to the Hill Country Barbecue to attending the SNL afterparty with the show’s cast, crew and friends.

He has throngs of devoted fans and will soon be releasing an album, but David Cook says his life now isn’t too different than it was before winning American Idol.

“I think in one sense everything’s changed but in another sense nothing has,” says the reigning Idol champ. “There’s all these different things around me that I didn’t have a year ago. I was able to furnish a home and get a nice car and be able to treat my family to some of the things that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to do.”

But, says the singer, 25, “I’m still a goober from the Midwest. Now I’ve just got a few more resources. I don’t feel like the show changed me at all.”

Cook spoke with PEOPLE after recording a performance video with his band for Walmart’s Soundchecks, which can be viewed online and in Walmart stores. (Watch a preview video below.)

“I got to show some different aspects of who I am as a person,” he says about the upcoming album.

Cook’s next gig: performing on this week’s Saturday Night Live hosted by Ben Affleck. “I grew up watching it like everybody else so to be apart of it in any capacity is obviously a huge honor,” he says, before adding that he’s “really nervous.”

“I’m going to make sure my shoelaces are tied so I don’t trip and fall on the floor!”
