Where is it?

Well here is a another case of search and destroy…I was trying to put together the baby gate this morning and one of my parts went missing. 😐 So here I was knowing darn well that I had all four pieces when I started! So I searched for a full 45 minutes…talking to my toddlers the whole time showing them the part I needed LOL Im like “show mommy where you put it.” They kept bringing me everything but what I needed. So I went to the toy room and searched like a maniac and eventually found it in with the cars…I should have known.
