[The sandbags, saved for when the rain i the summer threatened to overflow the drainage system, made a convenient place to sit that wasn't in the way, and wasn't too far removed from the action of the camp. It was a useful place for kids who might be too small for some of the heavier labor to keep track of what was going on.

Shaun's interest hadn't been too piqued by the baby AJ when Clementine had first carried him into the walls, but as he saw how much she cared about her little brother and as the baby got more interesting, going from a baby to a toddler, Shaun found himself sometimes helping Clem babysit AJ, when she didn't want to just be alone with him. Right now, AJ was asleep under the watchful eye of the adults, who were fully willing to let Clementine do most of the work (and claim the most reward) for taking care of him, but who also made sure that sometimes, while AJ was napping, she took some time to try to just be a kid, too.]

I dunno, maybe. It's almost winter again.

[Shaun glanced at Clem and then up at the sky.]

What do you think? You're from the south, right? I bet it didn't snow much.
