After their nasty split last year, it's hard to believe that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are on good terms, but it looks like they're keeping it friendly for their three children -- and possibly even reconciling!

On Saturday night Ben, Jen and their three children, Samuel, Seraphina and Violet, went to dinner in Brentwood, and the trio seemed to be having a blast. Jen was all smiles as she held hands with the girls, and Ben couldn't stop doting on little Sam. Exactly a week ago the family did the same thing, so it seems like this is their scheduled time to bond, but maybe things will fall back into place?

As you know, Jen filed for divorce, but the papers haven't been signed yet, and the couple are still living in the same home. A recent report claims Jen wants to patch things up with her hunky hubby, but a source added that Ben "wants out." Hmm...

When we polled our X17 readers last week, 36% of you said the couple should go ahead with the divorce, but 64% of you said they should try to work it out...think that'll happen?
