This mom dressed her kids up as AirPods for Halloween, and yes, it's as adorable as it sounds
Did a couple of scare-pods knock on your door Halloween night asking for candy? If so, they probably belonged to TV personality and host of Facebook Watch show "New Mom, Who Dis?", Jessi Cruickshank, who dressed her twin 2-year-olds up as homemade AirPods this year.
AirPods are expensive enough as it is, but when you have to raise them, feed them, and then send them to college, that's an entirely different ballgame. They might not be able to play Beyoncé, but we bet they do a killer rendition of the ABCs.
"As a kid, my parents always encouraged us to make our costumes..." Cruickshank said. "So... it’s in my DNA to make my own (and now my kids’) costumes! I sewed and painted and cut and designed them and then my local tailor Luis helped me to sew the foam heads."

"Honestly, my only goal was for them to wear the damn costume long enough to take a picture so that was a huge cherry, excuse me- apple- on top," Cruickshank said. As of this posting, she is still waiting for her lifetime supply of AirPods.
