No task too small! Jennifer Garner single-handedly totes son Samuel as the pair wrap up a busy day around Los Angeles

As the mother of three young children, Jennifer Garner is an expert at juggling even the lightest of loads.
The 41-year-old actress effortlessly carried her son Samuel along as they wrapped up a day of errands in Los Angeles on Friday.

The look-alike pair both showed off their pouty lips and flowing hair as they walked along the busy road and back to their car.
The 14-month-old looked ready for naptime in a moose-covered red onesie.
And despite the warm weather, Jennifer made sure to keep her youngster's feet warm in a pair of trendy blue belted trainers and a pair of matching striped socks.

The Alias actress also covered up from the beating California sun in a multi-tonal grey and pink tunic.
She paired the simple top with her standby favourite denim bottoms and a pair of brown leather loafers.
The day off is a welcome one for the working mother, who is reported to be starting production in the fall on the live-action children's flick 'Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.'
The film, based on the popular children's novel by Judy Viorst will also star Steve Carell.

The pair play parents to the titular character who battles the worst day of his life.
And though the film is not suited for her three children, Jennifer will hit the big screen this year in the biopic Dallas Buyers Club with Matthew McConaughey.
The film is loosely based on the true-life tale of Ron Woodroof, a drug taking womaniser who was was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 1986 and given thirty days to live.
