Is canvassing on a Sunday evening rude? [View all]

I've been canvassing with my 3-year-old in the Philly suburbs the last few weekends. He really wants to do some today but his nap ran over. I'm thinking this might be a good time to catch people home, but is it rude to knock on doors on a Sunday evening? How late is too late?
