"You know for someone who just wants to lend a hand, you ended up doing all the work" Lucas said laughing as he offloads the last flower pot from the truck.

"Well then next time don't be so lazy" I added taking off the gloves I had on. Mrs Andrews comes out of the house when she sees the boys had finished the job.

"Thank you boys for helping out" Mrs Andrews said

The cafe wasn't really that big but it surprising had space indoors. It reminded me of that episode of phineas and ferb and their tiny shed.
